United StatesAre you taking time each day to elevate your legs, Ron? Like this
![[Bonesmart.org] I survived! Now in rehab ...](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' width='319' height='231' viewBox%3D'0 0 319 231'%2F%3E "[Bonesmart.org] I survived! Now in rehab ...")
That will help enormously with the swelling.

She's not actually anywhere near 90 degrees, actually though you could lay flatter than she is doing, of course. But the important bit is how high her feet are. They're not just on a foot stool.
