"My Left Leg"- A walk with Lymphedema


The never ending saga continues. I have had two appointments since my last writing. After visiting a orthopedic surgeon it was determined that there is a great possibility that I will need surgery on my right knee. What is said to be a simple procedure will be a bit more serious for me because of Lymphedema.

So I am faced with the choice, continue in pain or have the surgery that may or may not help. Wow! This is not easy, but who said life was easy right?

I just returned from yet another appointment, this time I had a MRI done. Again, what was supposed to be simple and painless turned out to be anything but...
However I survived it (smile)!

I am tired of this, the pain, the swelling, the limp, the cane, the doctors just so much, so much.

But I continue to walk and carry my cross.
