I am aware that there a four methods that go into individual versions of Porridge - steel cut, etc., but none of the Quaker packets detail them and only tell us whether 'QUICK' cook, etc.  Notwithstanding whether good or not so good for me - as I only have half a cup of porridge daily - have decided to follow your advice - "keep eating it"  To answer your point about elevating my feet. For me to observe any reduction in swelling (which only takes just over an hour to accumulate) I would have to keep them elevated for 5 hours at least - which would mean a very  much earlier death.  I am a firm believer that activity is the only way to keep the blood carrying oxygen around the body - hence my longevity (82) with such serious illnesses - and I have already survived with 62% (decreasing) Congestive Heart Failure longer than most for c.20 years - most dying before 10 years from diagnosis.  So I am a lucky man - just a moaner about the pain keeping me awake at night hahaha.</p></blockquote><p></p>
