Medical Monday: Edema
Edema is the swelling of soft tissue due to fluid accumulation. Edema can affect any part of your body; however, this condition is usually found in the limbs. Edema can be caused by an underlying disease, pregnancy, or medication. This type of swelling can be alleviated through a redction of salt intake or medication.

Theory Thursday: Time
o’clock= KLK
one o’clock= 1K
two o’clock= 2K
three o’clock= 3K
four o’clock= 4K
five o’clock= 5K

ten o’clock= 10K
eleven o’clock= 1/1K

p.m.= PM
(NOTE: Your software should be set to automatically add :00 after any digits of 1-12 that you write before writing a.m or p.m.)
(ALSO NOTE: Your software should have a command for a number conversion that will allow numbers to be converted into “clock mode.” In my dictionary, the clock mode designation is KLM, defined as {Number Conversion}[nN:NN] If I write KLM on my machine and then write numbers on my machine following the clock mode stroke, the numbers will convert into a time format that includes a colon (00:00).
