"My Left Leg"- A Walk with Lymphedema


My walk is unlike anyone else, for I walk alone. I do not under estimate any persons struggles, pains, triumphs or passions, I only know my experiences and the lessons that I have learned along the way. I have learned to rejoice in the little things and to recognize that no one thing determines the end result.

Everyday is a new day with a new opportunity to grow. I am not a dreamer, for I find no value in it, however I woke up and found that I dreamed of a day when I was pain free, a day when I no longer had a limp, a day when the swelling is gone and I can walk at a normal pace (smile). So I guess I do dream. I dream of being able to again wear a skirt and even capris, I dream that this nightmare will end.
