      Hi Denise

      I think you got off lightly...didn't you have 20 hours of old Bing Crosby scratchy tape to listen to as well, like most of us did?

    Ice is good for swelling and pain and the swelling WILL go down.  I had my surgery in August.  I live in South Carolina.  Even with air conditioning my feet felt hot all the time.  It may sound silly, but I put water in a spray bottle and would spritz my feet (as best I could without breaking 90 degree rule) with water periodically.  I trained a fan on them and that helped keep them cool.
