Thanks so much for your good wishes!

The doctor has not said much about the swelling. I now have compression socks and was wearing them when I saw her Friday. It could be the tacrolimus, middle age, etc. Who knows? She noticed how swollen they were even with the socks, although it was actually a good day for them.

I bought new running shoes today and that should help my knee and foot pain. The running shoes and sandals are the only shoes I can wear right now. If I wear the socks I can sometimes wear other shoes.

We'll see what the prednisone does for me. There are likely symptoms I have grown accustomed to that may improve with the medication.

Best wishes,
Michelle
