Excess water or not?

I am in my eighth week post-op and I noticed my legs and ankles
seem swollen.  I feel like it is excess water.  Has anyone had a
lot of excess swelling like this?  I lightly press on the swollen areas
and they sure are soft.  I was doing a lot of walking shopping on
Saturday in the Garment District in Los Angeles for hours.
Could the swelling be from walking?  I can't help but think I am
retaining water.  What can a person do to get rid of any swelling?
I look like I have tree trunks for legs.  What a sight!

Either you are retaining water or your pressure is high.
