Lymphedema & kidneys

[franklin1970]

Well I had my leg compression testing done yesterday and the nurse who was working on me well my right leg good but left leg very bad. I was also told that I have Lymphedema! I still absorbing the shock and I was told I might end up in wheelchair ( no way I fight)! My mind is thinking about all of it. I had good cry. I would love to keep in touch with you and yes I had a lovely time talking to those two very kind caring and inspirational ladies. It was very pleasant and positive. I loved it.

You are a fighter and will not accept a diagnosis without questioning anything you are told. You are also a positive person and you won't be beaten. It is lovely hearing from you and I know you can fight this. Have a good cry and then get on with your special life. Big hugs xxxx

They started that yesterday and this will go on for a longtime and they tell me the might end up putting me on insulin. I am strong 💪🏼 and I did have that long cry. Now I can handle it and I will stay positive as giving up just isn’t going to happen as positivity is the best and healthiest way to go and enables you to enjoy 😉 life.

Your welcome. Have a lovely day. We are going to collect our seven month old puppy golden retriever Katie who has had two major operations from the vets this afternoon. She was diagnosed with severe elbow dysplasia about a month ago and she has just had the second elbow operated on. It has all cost a fortune and the pet insurance will not pay up so we are appealing. She is such a gorgeous little girl that we would do anything for her. So you can imagine the stress at the moment and it has definitely flared my feet up. Can't wait to bring her home xxxxx

Karjade Good morning thank you so much for sharing with me about your golden retriever Katie I’m so sorry to hear about her elbow dysplasia it’s so awful Because pets are very therapeutic And they give us unconditional love and they’re like our own children I have a cat she’s beautiful whenever I’m sick or in pain she lays on me and just purrs. That makes me feel more relaxed and it helps me with my pain. I understand you’re under lotta stress with us and my heart goes out to you and my prayers will be with you. We will all pray for Katie to get better quickly so you may bring her home and be blessed to have her love again to help you cope on your journey with your child Katie. I will pray hard. We all will. In regards to your feet I understand about the burning as I get that every day in my feet and in my calves and I get cramping in the bottom of my feet. I feel for you so much and I’ve already said a prayer and I’m sure Katie will be home to you very soon and I hope you when your appeal with your pet insurance as that’s despicable that you pay for it and then they won’t cover your animal when they’re sick and need the help that’s why you pay forThe pet insurance. Big hugs love support and prayers your way and Katie’s way and I pray all of this works out Katie comes home to you and she’s resting with you and your healing together and helping each other. God bless you amen

Thank you so much. We collected Katie this afternoon and now things get tough trying to keep her calm. She has a metal plate and bolts in both elbows and it is imperative that she does not play, jump, get excited, etc. We take her back next week to check the staples in her wound and then the following week she has the staples out. Six weeks later she has X-rays to make sure nothing has moved and then hydrotherapy. Roll on time! xxxx

Well dear it’s a slow and gruelling process and just pet Katie tell you love her they love that! My kitty Peaches when I say I love you to her she meows so cute every time she melts my heart ❤️ to butter. Healing is a process and I asked the lord to give Katie a speedy recovery and for you to win your pet insurance renewal and the lord will watch over all of you dear. Please keep me posted ok 👍 You can talk to me anytime my friend. 💜purple heart 💜 for ya as purple is the healing colour.

Thank you. Animals are a therapy that's for sure. I do not know what I would do without my two dogs. Maisie is five years old and Katie seven months old. Maisie is a PAT (Pets as Therapy) dog and we visit a Special Needs School. We still have a long way to go with Katie's healing but the worst is over. Thank you for thinking about her. Take care love Karen xxx

Oh WOW! You just take care of yourself! I know its scary. Maybe with them knowing what it is something can be done??? I'm so sorry, and prayers for you!

[franklin1970 in reply to Boxer30]

Thank you so much boxer 30. It’s a lot to go through right now with all these test and all these diagnosis and been told I have more wrong with me and it is overwhelming. I am a strong woman I am a determined woman I will remain positive and smile and even though the lady that did my leg compression testing said I may end up in a wheelchair my thoughts are on that when donkeys fly LOL. I want you all to know we’re all in difficult journeys but we all know positivity healthy diet and exercise and much support from each other. I guess what I’m trying to say is my heart goes out to all of you prayers and hugs to all of you and remember even when we’re most positive we can be knocked out and I was I’ll admit it. I pray to the Lord and have been talking to you people and feel like I’ve made some new friends and love that we can all share and talk with one another and we respect one another as we all understand each other. God bless and you have yourself a wonderful day. Thank you again boxer 30 For your response and it’s always appreciated.
