My left Leg - A walk with Lymphedema

I look at this light house and I think of its original purpose which was 1) to give direction to those lost (at sea), and to be a beacon of hope. I imagine those who were lost had to focus on that structure until they felt safe. Sometimes we just have to focus not on our current situation but on the end. So...
It's been three long weeks since my procedure with Mr Doctor Man. Let me get right to the point. I had an injection that caused me to be pain free exactly one week, then the pain slowly began to return. Sometimes I feel I should accept that I will just have to live with some degree of pain the rest of my life. Other times I say absolutely not! I don't know what the future holds for me and my left leg, but I do know that I will press on. I can walk through the pain, I may have to rest, but I can walk. I am expecting that I will have to go back in and begin another round of MLD Therapy, but such is life...my life that is. So until I am delivered from this or until I walk it my glorified body...I shall walk this earth, not being limited with "my left leg" struttin my stuff, doing my thing!!!
~peace~
