weakness and health

Since my last episode of FLash Pulmonary Edema, my strength was gone and is slowly coming back.   Each day is a small improvement.  It is scary to drive.

My doctor says it is the multiple changes made to my drugs that are causing this.  I think the main thing is dehydration.  I pee out large amounts multiple times a day, much more than I take in. 

My legs were carrying a lot of water, and there is some still there.  But I do see a difference.   Most of the edma is in my legs, so the dehydration makes my legs weak, like taking air out of a balloon which has stretched.   THe balloon seems limp afterward, and so I limp on both legs (that's a joke for those who can't read me).
