swelling
I was a few days into my trip and I noticed that my ankles and feet were swelling. It was horrible. My shoes became progressively tighter and I was miserable for hours after taking them off. It wasn’t just my shoes that were swelling. My shirts didn’t fit properly, my pants seemed overly tight, and I had to stop wearing my watch for a few days because my wrist was swelling so much that it didn’t fit at all for a period of time. Drew informs me this is normal when you head to a tropical climate (he’s had the briefing about it at least once every year). I just wish my doctor or the travel clinic had told me to expect it before I arrived!
