A member asked:
My dad hd a heart attack 2 weeks ago and had was int.c.u and had stents. prior to hospital he had ankle edema but now his lower legs are bones causes?

"are bones" - ?: When you say his lower legs are bones, do you mean you can now see the normal bony landmarks of the ankle? ie it's become normal? He sounds like he had congestive heart failure with ankle edema and it's been properly treated in hospital. Is this what you were asking?
