Summer is here and you know what that means...hot legs (not as in hot wings)lol! The heat adds to the heaviness and the discomfort. Those who live with lymphedema know exactly what I am speaking of. My desire to go out, even to the store or the movies diminishes. I am trying to think of things that will motivate me to press on, but each day is a little harder. Music that's it! I'll drown myself in music, escape to a place that's all good with memories of what use to be. As I get older I am finding that the "use-to-be's are a safe little haven where I can dwell. But, I have to come out and face my reality sooner or later. Not everything has changed. I still cling to my cane. I have lost it a few times which is so funny to me. Every time I lose it, I am reminded that I am getting better...for I can now walk with out it. How and when did my cane become my crutch? It's all I have to lean on, it has become my friend, never too far.
So....with my head lifted high (as though all is well) I press on, I hold on, I cling on to the words that will sustain me...today.
