Complete with Velcro

Today I went and was fit for a pair of diabetic shoes.  Hopefully I'll be able to better fit into these shoes than my current ones.

My edema has gotten worse over the past week, since the time I started taking the narcotics.  I've upped my Lasix and have been wearing my compression stockings, but they're not much relief.  The sooner the pain from the shingles goes away the sooner I can get off the narcotics and, hopefully, stop the massive swelling again.

My shingles sores have dried up and become crusty, now they just need to peel off.  The rash is like one big scab.  It's itchy as hell and still hurts but the narcotics keep me comfortable, even if I feel like every time I sit down I could fall asleep for hours.

Dr. Oran had her baby, a girl.  Everyone is doing well as far as I heard, even though she was four weeks premature.  Because she was so early her transition plan hadn't yet been determined, so now that she's out (probably until the new year) my nurse coordinator Carol is still trying to figure out which doctor will be taking over my case.  It should be decided sometime this week.

The shingles is stable, my GVH seems to be stable, so I don't have an oncology appointment until next week.
