Haha... I think that's the episode with the 5 W's of post op fever.

Peripheral edema is a symptom of right sided heart failure. It's when fluid collects in the extremities from the heart not effectively pumping blood through itself. Lasix is usually given and it makes you pee the fluid off. It's a very delicate process.

Thank you.... saved me some typing.

I will add, just incase there is someone out there reading this that has edema, that CHF is not the only cause of Edema. There are several things that can cause it. Trama, pregnacy, acoholism to name a few. :thumb:

And to the OP, way to step back and re-evaluate... major man move on your part.
