I everyone. Well. It's been awhile since I have updated so I thought I would take time and do it now. So a year ago this month I had Sapl on my right leg and 3 years this past October on my left leg. Right leg was a quicker recovery than left. Between both legs I have lost 30 plus pounds and my energy has increased. My legs aren't the same size but it's not noticeable unless I point it out. I can now wear skinny Jean's and boots which wasn't possible for years. I have not had any bouts with cellulitis for over 3 years now. Yay! I wear my garments everyday religiously. I do not wear at night. I am always checking my legs to make sure they are not getting bigger. I wonder if there will ever come a day when I don't worry about that. This past year seems to have been a challenge with the heat as it does get uncomfortable with garments on in the heat. Thank God for swimming pools. I walk a mile to 3 a day and when weather is warm I get into pool and use my underwater bicycle or treadmill while listening to music. No need to wear garments when in the pool so that is just another plus. In addition, my therapist gave me a form to submit to electric company and I was able to get a reduction in my electric bill since I need to have AC on. I still get fatigued sometimes but I have gotten really good at listening to what my body is saying. I rest when I need to but I am on the go so much more than before. I am blessed to be able to share my experience with others and have had opportunities to point people in the right direction on a few occasions for this disease. I just wanted everone to know that at 1 and 3 years things are still great with my legs/surgeries. I am a candidate for LVA but honestly don't think I want anymore surgeries. Praying for all of us that one day we will have a complete cure for this. Happy holidays to all of you beautiful people and a reminder der to be kind to yourselves. Xoxo
