My left Leg - A walk with Lymphedema


The summer is officially over and I am still dependant on this cane...blah! However all is not lost, there are days that I can meander my way away from it. I am taking mobic 15mg at night and I usually take a non-aspirin at some point during the day. I am not pleased with this. I realized that I am never 100% pain free, even when medicated or asleep. This is no way to live. On a scale from 1-10 my pain level has not gone below a 6 in about a year.

I am determined not to let it stop me completely. I haven't lost any days from work due to this madness and I don't plan to start. I am finding that I get depressed and want to just sleep but the good thing is I do not have time to sleep (smile).

I know I will make it through this, I don't really have a choice. I'm thinking someone must be watching me to see if my God is as real as I say he is. Well if that is the case I can't let him down. We are about to show you a thing or two! You know the scripture...faith the size of a mustard seed. Have you seen how small a mustard seed is? OMG! I have at least that much faith. I know that God is a healer, I know that he is my provider and I know that every step I take (cane or not) he is there or should I say here, with me. I will look to the hills from wince cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord.

...stay tuned for the rest of the story
