Two days later, and I'm still hearing some protests from that sciatic nerve, but even more from my right knee.

Ouch! I hope the protests from that time standing go away.
The swelling does seem to be going down in my feet and legs. The top of my foot still hurts, though. Also, I did something really stupid. I was supposed to take the potassium pill with the diuretic. Well, I took the potassium pill but I accidentally took my thyroid pill instead of the diuretic. This plus bananas mean I probably got an overdose of potassium Friday evening. I did wake up thirsty and slightly headachy Sat. morning. When I realized what I had done, I took the diuretic w/o taking another potassium. I haven't noticed any other problems. I loathe taking medications. I really need to swear off diet coke, frozen dinners, and fast food.
