I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
As for your swollen ankles sweetie I know just how you feel. All the fluid pills in thw world won't help me when I get that. I just stay in the air conditioning for a few days and it goes away. Different people get that for different reasons though. I hope it clears up soon because you don't want to spend your last 2 months before retirement at home in bed. Or do you???? ;-) Feel better soon!
Thanks for playing the letter game. you get 'K'!
