“It was a very sad time for me but just 8 months after I retired, I discovered a treatment that proved very successful and could have actually helped save my job. I first noticed swelling on my feet and
ankles about 2 years ago, and so I went to visit my doctor. I had all kinds of tests but they couldn’t find the root cause of my problem.”
“A kidney malfunction was suspected but the tests proved negative and so I was just given a repeat prescription for water tablets, which I really hated taking. About a year later, the swelling had spread to my legs and I also began to feel tired and breathless all the time. Thankfully, further tests on my heart showed no signs of disease.”
“Well, I was resigned to the fact that I would just have to live with my condition and all the discomforts that came with it. So, fast forward and retirement seemed the only answer, as standing was getting more and more difficult for me. A few months after my retirement, I went to visit my sister who lives in Cleveland.”
