edema




one of the yucky side effects of having a c-section (or probably any abdominal surgery) is enduring edema, or swollen feet & arms. it feels like i get bigger every day. the edema can last for one to two weeks. even my slippers are starting to feel tight.

Aw sucky! Hopefully it'll go away quicker than that. Keep them tootsies elevated, and get up to walk around as much as you can, it helps mobilize all that fluid hanging out.
