Swollen

I worked standing up for the first time in years.

Result: My legs turned into elephant legs...

It's the first time in my life I've been this swollen...

The moment I got home and took off my pants...

"Huh?? Whose legs are these??"

I did a double take.

The sock marks were distinct. No, they were more than just distinct.

It was like pressing my finger into bread; the indentation wouldn't go away.

Why did I get so swollen?

• Lack of exercise

• Dehydration

• Nutritional deficiency

Perhaps the cause is some kind of deficiency!...especially lack of exercise!

When you mostly do desk work, you inevitably end up... lacking exercise.

3 things I did to combat the swelling

1. For now, sleep with my legs elevated

I put a cushion under my legs and went to sleep.

The next morning... it was a little better!

Gravity is amazing.

2. Massage

Massage from your ankles up to your calves.

It hurts... it hurts so much...

But it works!

3. Drink water consciously the next day

Apparently, dehydration is also a cause of swelling.

It sounds contradictory, but they say if you don't have enough water, your body tries to hoard it.

So, I'll make sure to drink water!

Results of the swelling countermeasures

By the next day, it was almost back to normal.

I really need to get at least a little exercise regularly.

I swore to myself that even with desk work, I would stand up and walk around once an hour...
