Thanks CricketHip I will use your tips. The edema is ebbing it seems as I haven't put on those dreaded stockings. The week-end was great but I have several bites leading to inflammation, extreme redness and oozing.@Layla As I am seeing the OS tomorrow he will not be pleased with this because I was sent an envelope of instructions prior to my apt. In it is a table of all the types of surgeries and other procedures I would need antibiotics for along with the name of antibiotic to be given and dosage. Think I will need antibiotic for the bites. I forgot yet again to bring insect repellent. I am loathe to use it but I must.
@leejaa I will look around for a king size pillow. I have only standard here.
@Barbaraj carpel tunnel is causing me havoc. I had a hard time straightening my hands and painful.
I don't know if anyone else gets this but when I take benadryl I sleep and then when I get up my muscles are sore and I can barely walk.
Anyhow cancelling physio today as I will not be able to make it tomorrow to OS as I will be too exhausted
@ceezee North Hatley--we had our place in the Eastern Townships as well. Yup we are a foodie city and when I came home (I live a hop skip and a jump) from all sorts of places, Greek, Italian, Iranian, Indian, Mexican, Caribbean, Japanese, Korean, even Louisiana cuisine and a cheese place that has cheeses from all over the world with sandwiches to die for made in front of you--people stand in line at lunch.Oh and the brunch places...
@Cecropia thanks for the well wishes. You are lucky as it appears you are in a peaceful rural space with quiet blissful quiet.
The noise has commenced at 6:50 outside my door and another added bonus no water today as the main valve will be turned off on this street. The street is closed so no cars or taxis can get here so I am marooned.
@Mojo333 merci. We are going back On Thursday for 4 days.
Oh and I found something for the hair loss thing--apple cider vinegar. Apparently it removes the film of shampoo which blocks the follicles. I tried it--burned because I have bites but I found a difference. Can't use it yet again because I have more bites.
