Fitted

YAY! It is Friday! What a long week it has been! I hope everyone has had a lovely week. It has been a rainy last couple of days in NJ with no hopes of drying up until next week I'm afraid.

Yesterday I got fitted for my easier alternative to wrapping myself during the day and the garment I will wear at night. It was a l-o-n-g process because they take precise measurements. The lady actually took pictures of my legs too and traced my foot on a piece of paper. I felt like I was reverting back to kindergarten. LOL!

Anyway, let me show you what the wonderful world of lymphedema can get ya. Below is the Farrow Wrap. On the right side is a silver lining liner that I will wear on each leg to protect the skin. The middle is the footpiece I will wear on each leg. The left side is the wrap I will have for both legs from ankle to knee. Thank God it didn't have to go mid-thigh although could you imagine how sexy that would that have been?? LOL!
Below is the lovely night garment I will be wearing each and every night on both legs. How did they know my favorite color was black?

They are custom fitted which translates into alot of money. Please pray my insurance will cover the bulk of these. They are supposed to come in by the end of next week. I do have to say that it will be much easier than wrapping myself. I will still continue my therapy probably until June. My therapist will do the Michelin Man ™ wrapping on on-therapy days but on my off-days I'll wear the Farrow Wraps. At night during my off-therapy days I will wear the Solaris night garments.
