Exhausted 101

I'm officially exhausted. Between going yesterday to therapy and getting "all wrapped up" and then later on going to not one but two doctors...I'm doing all I can to stay awake. I got up at 4am yesterday to make it in time for therapy. Today I got up at 3:45am so I could unwrap myself, then roll up all the wraps/foam/cotton etc. Then after that I had to shower then re-wrap myself. The whole process takes 2hrs!

Today is a better day than I had the weekend. I feel better about therapy too. My therapist said that my legs are looking healthier and I did not hurt myself by wrapping myself wrong. Thank God. We are opting to wait on that whole Farrow Wrap ™ thing I spoke about too. She gave me something called Tubigrip ™ for in between visits when I don't feel like wrapping. It is a stockinette that has compression on it. She cut it two times the length of my leg so I can put it on, fold it at the ankle and turn the rest inside out so it will then go back up to my knees so I can have double compression. Between that, the wrapping, and the elevating I should be ready to order my compression garments and night garments in a few weeks. How many is few? I still can't get a straight answer.

I'm sorry that my posts have been medical lately. I guess it is because that is what is consuming me lately. It is all I think about. That and my impending job loss come the end of May.

To change the subject....Have any of you seen the Food Network show Chopped? I was watching it the other day and one of the Chefs on there was SO funny. This man named Chef William was allergic to eggplant. So he couldn't taste his recipe and he had a hard time cutting it up because his fingers would swell if he touched "the meat" of the eggplant as he called it. Then it came time to do another course and this one the producers chose grapefruit to be involved in the recipe. Well guess what - Chef William was allergic to grapefruit. The way he said this was hysterical. You had to see the expression on his face to truly appreciate it - "I had swollen, itchy red hands. It was like they were trying to kill me". Again, you had to see it. Did any of you?
