Ankles. Help! I'm nearly two weeks postop, no weight loss and severely swollen

ankles and lower legs. I had to spend the last six days in a motel room, waiting for my drainage tubes to do their thing, and I didn't get very much exercise. Now, today, March 28, I'm finally home. It was a 9-hour drive, I wore Ted-hose all the way and my limbs are still really swollen. Anyone else have this? No weight loss, either. I'm not really discouraged; but frustrated, after going through so much pain, etc., and find that when I get home, I have these swollen legs and ankles and weigh no less than I did two weeks ago. I guess I do need some answers and some encouragement. Ava Lee, where are you when I need you? Sandy Combs
