My Left Leg - A Walk with Lymphedema


I felt this was appropriately titled Life with Lymphedema
I woke up this morning feeling very introspective, wanting to know and understand more. This is also one of the times that I am not feeling very optimistic. I find that sometimes I have to turn the computer off...too much information can be overwhelming.

To add to the complications of my conditions; I have lipedema in my right leg and Lymphedema in my left leg. I don't blog much about the lipedema. Truthfully I am still very confused about the difference between the two conditions and yearning to know more. But with information comes responsibility.

I read a medical report this morning on Lipedema from Hungry and although the information was enlightening it was frightening as well. I find myself thinking a lot about the prognosis wondering about my quality of life. 

I have to rely on my faith and there are several scriptures that give me a certain degree of peace (oxymoron I know). 

And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7 

So with that said...If there are those of you reading this blog that are going through, just know that you are really not alone, although it feels like it...you aren't. There is peace in the midst of the storm!
