More Discoloration

I thought the skin discoloration had disappeared, but I was wrong.  Yesterday, while carefully shaving (yes, I know I shouldn't but I had no choice at the moment), I noticed that both of my legs have a good amount of discoloration / darkness on my shins. It's in an oval shape and seems like it started growing recently.  Not sure why, but I will keep an eye on it. 
I'm still experiencing swelling in my right ankle.  It goes down after elevation or sleep, but comes back throughout the day.  I will continue to move around and exercise to force good circulation through my veins.  17 days until I go home! Please, continue to keep me in your prayers.

Nothing New Under The Sun

I have seen no new changes.  That can be a good thing and it could be a bad thing.  We will see how this thing plays out.  My right ankle is still swollen, but the calf area has not grown (which is good).  I'm not experiencing any pain, but have been getting tired a lot quicker.  The exhaustion may be due to the heat or the constant standing and moving that I have been doing.  I plan on getting to the pool some time this week to let the water pressure do some work on the circulatory system. 23 days until I return to the States.  Keep me in your prayers!

It's Official!

My right side is definitely going through the changes that took place in my left side 13 years ago.  I have less than 30 days until I return to the States.  I will need to document the changes that occur to give my doctor a better understanding of what's going with my body.  Hopefully, it can help him  determine an accurate medical procedure and form of treatment.  Until then, you will have to deal with my constant blogging about my legs and feet.
