Health of my feet and so on

My feet have looked better than the last few years I have to say. The edema is not as bad as it was yesterday, but it's rather bad. You can see the leg and foot are puffed up a lot with water retention (Edema).

You can also see my heals are in rough shape. Yes, I've seen much worse, but I am not able to deal with them before they get even worse, I just can't physically get at them to do it. The heals peal off and there is dead skin all over my apartment because of it. They also hurt when I have them flat on the floor to watch TV or be at the computer. I put stuff on them sometimes when I can, but not always.

As for the Edema, I have compression stockings, but they don't fit correctly and cut into my legs, and that can cause even more problems I don't need in my life.

The Edema being ever present is not a good sign at all I've read. I have heart failure and it might be getting worse. I see the heart doctor next week and will see what he has to say. I was recently in the ER and the doctor was concerned for what she was seeing on the heart monitor. That never happened before and I have to think that it could be an indication that indeed my heart failure is getting worse.

I had an incident many months ago where I blacked out and ended up drinking for 2 days and consumed 2250 ml of Vodka in the time frame. Drinking a lot can damage your heart and definitely can make heart failure worse. So a really big hit of it all at once like this, may have damaged me. There is no fixing this damage, and once done, it is permanent. At best you can just keep it from getting worse.

My back is also acting up, but that will be in another blog post about going to the ER.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
