Thank you very much, Margaret. And, Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you for your concern. They're still a little swollen.

Why Am I Dizzy All The Time. I Take Blood Pressure Pills, Anti-psychotics, Mood Stabilizers And I Have Type 2 Diabetes.
My Feet Have Been Swelling Lately. I Know About Sodium But Could It Also Be Diabetes Related.
