So, I wake up today in a moderate amount of pain but for some reason it's ok. Is that because I am getting immune to the pain, oh I think not (smile). Is it because I am just accepting it as a way of life, probably (frown). I don't want to accept pain as a way of life it's bad enough that I must accept Lymphedema. I will talk more about pain in another blog (smile). I am wrapping my leg (s) 2 to 3 times a week (not really but I should). Now, I never claimed to be a rocket scientist or even a math teacher but for some reason I just realized this week that unless I wrap both legs at the same times, I will be wrapped every day of the week!!! This my friend is a problem. So, I guess I will have to wrap them at the same time. In my infinite wisdom (sarcastically) I realized that if nothing else all this madness is sharping one of my life skills, which is responsibility. I have always considered myself to be a very responsible person but as far as taking care of MYSELF, I must admit that I have not been a good steward of my temple (body), but for those of you like me...it's not too late! I am not saying that lymphedema is caused by any negligence, my statement is merely a self reflection.
