Something new on my health front:  I'm retaining water.  The Doc thinks its due to heat and humidity but is lookiing for other underlying possibilities.  Yuck!  I'm on  a water pill every morning and I'm told my water loss will result in a temporary weight loss.   Well....as my weight luck would have it - - I've gained three pounds.  So this is really an issue!  Hope to start "Silver Sneakers" at the "Y" tomorrow.  I'm going to start swimming and see if some sort of exercise will help me kick start a weight loss.  However, a stable weight would suit me just fine.  Hope to improve before long.
