Still walkin!
After much contemplation (about a month or so). I have finally decided that's it's not just ok but it is also freeing to show this picture. So that you not only have a visual of what I'm talking about but so that you no longer have to imagine what "wrapped" looks like. Now take this-times two. (a left and right leg) talking about lack of balance OMG!
I am in a very weird place. I'm tired, that's the best way to describe my walk right now. I try to think of things that will encourage me (even the scripture says you must encourage yourself sometimes Ephesians 5:19). Well, it's not as easy as it sounds. So I have had the task of finding ways to encourage myself. Music, music is absolutely amazing. Somehow I slip into a zone and just sing until my heart is content (smile). Sometimes I get so far into a "funk" that not even music can pull me out. Actually I get to a point where I just can't turn the music on, I just want to sleep with hopes of waking up to find that I had just had a nightmare and it's all over.
My MLD Therapist tells me that this round is almost over. I have acquired some skills that will assist me in living a fairly "normal life". I have learned to wrap my own legs, self MLD therapy and breathing techniques. These are very useful skills that will help me move forward and become a little more independent, so I'm told.
My assignment this week was to unwrap and re-wrap my legs a minimum of 2 times. Don't sound too bad huh??? Think again! It took close to a hour for one dang leg OMG! I will not do them both the at the same time...well maybe, but only because I have to.
I'm still tired, in fact I am exhausted but They shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. I am the they that is spoken of. Therefore "I shall"!!!
