Thanks, @lioness. Yes, I have been soaking my feet in Epsom salts periodically, especially on days when I have been more active. I did not know that sourdough bread was easier to digest. Thanks for that tip.

Yes, if you read my Spotlight (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/newsfeed-post/meet-hopeful33250-striving-so-no-one-ever-feels-alone-in-their-personal-health-challenges/), you will learn a bit about my medical history with lots of variety, including a paralyzed vocal cord, Rheumatic heart disease, hypoparathyroidism among others. I suppose I'm like a lot of Members on Connect in that I realize my attitude is all I have control over so I might as well be as upbeat as possible So, like you, I count my blessings instead of my difficulties and move forward.
