Fantastic! Mind if I ask what you are doing for the lymphedema? I have it in my left leg and it is definitely something I need to address.

Fantastic! Mind if I ask what you are doing for the lymphedema? I have it in my left leg and it is definitely something I need to address.

We are trying a couple of things.

My first treatment my PT put my right leg (the smaller of the two) in this big boot-like contraption that massages the leg and then manually massaged my left one. Then she wrapped my left calf with foam and bandages for compression. I am supposed to wear the wraps until my next visit or they come off on their own.

Then, we had snow days and bad weather so I couldn't go for a week.

Right now we are trying for Monday, Wednesday, Friday appointments. It's interesting try to work a swim schedule around being wrapped and unwrapped.

Even one treatment, in addition to keeping my feet elevated a lot while snowed in, really helped because by my second treatment I was able to get both legs in the boot/massagers and she wrapped both calves.

We are experimenting to see what works but I am really happy with the results so far.

I told her I will need to come see her Halloween if I want to dress up like a mummy!

The first one was great. I missed the second one due to the snow but hopefully by next class I will have finished my homeworkers.

It took me a while because of the snow and my physical therapy, but I finally got my massage today. I promise not to wait so long for my next one. I still have two certificates left and definitely have to use them before they expire in June.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
