Dealing with the ups and downs of lymphedema has not and will not be easy. There will always be pebbles, stones, bricks and mountains that block my path. Now I must focus on how to avoid these pit falls. There will always be obstacles whether with lymphedema or in life but success lies in not stumbling over the same obstacle continuously.
For the last few days I have been swollen more so than usual so it's time for me to pull into the pit and refuel. Rest, elevation and wrapping are in my immediate future.
I need to find out if stress has anything to do with the flair ups. Sometimes this is too much to deal with.
Someone came in my office today and was elated that he was alive, no matter what was said his response was..."I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom and everything came out ok. So I'm blessed"
Today I am adopting that attitude.
