I'm still standin'! It's been a few weeks since I completed MLD and I cannot say that it's been easy. I'm still learning to accept the ups and downs of lymphedema.
If I had to rate my daily pain on a scale from 0 - 10 my level would be around 6 or 7 most of the time. That's a lot and sometimes it feels like more than I can handle. With the recent news regarding Michael Jackson, I have to admit that I'm very cautious about the pain medication that I take, (Meloxicam (Mobic) 15 mg once a day) (Actually I have always been weary). Currently I am looking into alternate forms of pain management such meditation. Medication just feels so un-natural to me. There has got to be a better way! With all that said, I cannot express the importance of following doctors orders, just be in prayer about what you are taking as well as the dosage.
A positive attitude is so important when going through something like this. I honestly do not know why I have been given this cross to bare but I do know that with God, I can do all things. So when I am at my lowest please remind me of that. I try not too complain but sometimes it becomes a little overwhelming. So I reiterate I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me and so can you!
