I have no idea if I can attribute this in any way to my kidneys, my body failing me or my meds, but I'm blaming on something in that realm because...well...because I can.
Anyway, I'm out Sunday morning taking the dogs for their morning peepee. I have to walk over to the model home since we still don't have grass and one of my dogs just doesn't pee in the dirt. Anyway, I have no idea what or how it happened, but I completely just fell down. I tried to brace myself with my wrists so luckily I didn't end up with asphalt face, but I did suffer some injuries.
And then, of course, I get up and look around to see if anyone saw me. I mean, I fell down with some FORCE! And I have no idea what happened. All I know is that I'm gonna get some hella bruises with these here scrapes.
Oh, and my swelling is back. Gained 10 pounds yesterday. Compression stockings in full effect.
Yippee.
