Well I know the Lord is close to me and watching over me as I hope he is all of you. I went yesterday to my lymphedema clinic and my right leg is was getting pretty bad and my left leg is very bad so I’m going to be started out in Coban wraps soon here and where those for a bit and then they’re going to give me the special compression stockings it go up to my knees same as the wraps and Homecare is going to help me out with her as that I set that up and my doctor was cool with that and happy I took the initiative to do that so that I could cover all options for treatments and they gave me more info they were proud of me because I lost 14 pounds found out on my birthday when I saw the doctors so that was a nice surprise gift and I have had my blood sugars pretty good up and down a little bit but Actually a leveling out pretty good so but I have I put my hip out and it’s painful and my kidney hurts all the time by the new medicine the Toradol is really helping me and the key to that is only take it as needed people tend to take more than they should and can get addicted I have never had this problem as I always follow the pain doctor and doctors instructions this is very important in proper treatment of a patient. Teamwork by all the doctors and your support through the community that you can get by just checking around and asking and you shall find out and I hope that many of you out there will do that if you’re needing help and you don’t have it you can get home care is covered through healthcare and it’s there for you for when you’re sick you need it and the work with your doctors and there great about it. It’s nice to know that the Lord has blessed us with healthcare workers that are caring and do you want to save your life when my doctor said to me Michelle we’re going to do everything we can to save your life and the look in her eyes and just the compassion I realized how much she was trying and I know I have to do my part so I’m working very hard to do that I’m still exercising every day chair work out they were really happy about that and they added some more I get up every half hour move around do you want to stretch is there a trick the stretches on the chair are just getting up from sitting to straight up standing little things like that that help the blood flow. My left leg is permanently damaged blood vessels of been damaged and there’s no cure but they will treat it and let’s see how much fluid comes out of my body that’s interesting because they’ve had patients have had 30 pounds of fluid after having their treatments out of their bodies and and so that gives me hope. All of us on here need to hope love support and caring compassion and most of all not to be put down ever we need positive people and coming on this group is awesome for me because you people are all wonderful and we all have something in common yes we all may have other ailments as well but we all are going through hard times are hard journeys with cruel disease is with no cheers and we have to make the best of our lives which we are all doing and the last thing we need is to allow ourselves to have toxic comments that yes drop her self-esteem and make us feel even lousier like we didn’t feel lousy are all ready because we’re already struggling but some people are just it’s not about us it’s about them if they go to prom with us always see there’s something going on in their life that is making him act this way and unfortunately it’s negative it can be toxic but you could still love the person but you can remove yourself from the toxic situation if it comes out of hand and the other person is not willing to stop. I love you all God loves you all I wish you the very very best I pray for you all every dayAnd I want you to know that God loves you he’s watching over us even when we think we think he isn’t he is I feel his love I feel his warrants and that’s why I seek to for guidance and strength and my husband is my rock. I want all those out there who maybe aren’t so lucky and maybe all alone going through this please pick up the phone or go on your computer look up community services in your area home care that’s where the nurses are through and it’s it doesn’t cost you anything and you will get so much help and support this is very much needed in our journeys to help us get through our journeys and I have somewhat of a life where you feel like a human being and not feeling so just worn down everything and we just Feel that everything is so overwhelming that we tend to drop down a level or a few levels in confidence self-esteem lake was said to me today and one of my replies and I want you to know that it does not hurt and it is no shame to reach out and ask for help I went through that in the beginning but I’ve been going through illness has for years has suffered for years and what is kept me alive through all this is the Lords strength the strength in me that he guides me and my husband the medical staff this support the Homecare nurses add this support group.I wish you all the best I hope you all have a great day and may the Lord be with you always and protect and watch over you and may you all be supported and loved and you helped and lift it up instead of being knocked down. Amen 🙏
