To say it is hot would be an understatement! To say it is scorching would be putting it nicely...ok I think you got the message! I totally forgot that the heat make my legs swell more and I need to give them more attention. Oh to have this thorn removed from my side (in this case my legs).
I have read about others who are walking this same journey with lymphedema and it is not necessary a good thing knowing that I am not alone, I am sorry others are suffering like me. In fact some are suffering even more.
All throughout the United States and in many other countries people are suffering with this debilitating disease, lymphedema. In so many countries including many cities and states in the US, Dr's are still unaware of the condition. Therefore we are unable to get the proper medical attention that is needed. Can you imagine how scary that is to have a disease that the Dr's cannot even help you with, then after years find that it is a progressive disease that gets worse and nothing can be done about it. WOW! Just WOW.
For those looking it up another mind blowing this is Lymphedema is listed under fat disorders, talking about kicking a person while they are down.
For a person such as myself who gets little pleasure out of eating, finding out I have a condition that is considered a fat disorder further complicates my life. It just takes your breath away, you know what I mean?
Yes I can still walk, but what will happen if I need to run or if there is a fire or other emergency...at this point I feel like I will just sit down and say whatever. I still have responsibilities, I still have my family, I still have a friend and I still have the job that God has for me...so I press on.
Dah-well
