SF pudding works. You're fine. You might want to look into organic dark chocolate-- lower in carbs than regular milk chocolate.

Saw the PCP today. She thinks my swelling ankles are a protein issue. Going to have blood work done.

I don't think it's a protein problem. On your last labs, what was your protein, albumin and prealbumin?

I will pull out my previous labs and we can discuss. The PCP said it might be the Reclast, but usually swelling occurs soon after infusion, not 2 weeks later.  She has see swelling ankles for low protein in much older (80+) patients.

 I am her only DSer.  At least she is open minded about my findings and research.

Sounds like she's a keeper. We can talk labs when you're ready.  :)
