Update And Hello

First I would like to thank ALL of you who left such beautiful and encouraging comments about what is going on with me & my lymphedema. I can't tell you what it means to me. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. ♥

I've been having a real rough time since my last post. My therapist got sick and canceled our Thursday appointment. I have been wrapping myself since then. And I suck at it. For instance...when I took off the wraps that my therapist did, I saw results. My legs looks like a normal size. I couldn't believe the progress. I actually couldn't believe they were my legs! When I took off the wraps I did, my legs looked just like they did before therapy. It is like I have to start from scratch again on Monday. Another week wasted. It felt like I got kicked in the gut.

It is very hard to wrap yourself. I can't even begin to tell you. I really got to talk to Bud's French Twins because I have to learn about flexibility. I have none. I actually pulled my right hamstring trying to wrap myself. My hubby can't do it either. I am seriously considering ordering the FarrowWrap ™ for both of my legs. It is much easier. I think it will do a world of difference for me. Hopefully my insurance will cover it. It is a series of attached compression garments that is applied with Velcro. I'm debating about this and will talk to my therapist on Monday...God willing she is there!

Other than that, I'm doing OK. I'm just trying to get through this as best I can. Hopefully something will give soon & I can have some peace of mind that this will get better. I'm just really trying to work at getting fitted for the compression garments and night garment so I can live a normal life.

Hopefully soon I can post a "brighter" post. I'm just blah right now. I hope you all understand.
