Evening all- today was a LANDMARK day! I have been so worried and anxiety ridden over spending too much time away from home and the comforts of being laid up. A good friend asked to take Xander to Port Discovery with another friend and her son and I thought i owed it to all of us to at least try...so I went. We had a BLAST!!! It was much less walking than I had thought it would be and I was able to really rest intermittently. It was great conversation and it was just wonderful seeing my boy play so cooperatively with his friend. There was no yelling, no opposition, it was just a lovely day. After the play date, I went to my lymphedema specialist who gave me a full manual lymph drainage massage and had me measured for a custom day leg garment and a nighttime garment. While they area both bulky as hell and probably hot as hell, they are much more comfortable and should provide me with a great deal of relief and for that, I am thankful! FOund some good quotes to end the day with....enjoy and as always; be kind, be well, be love, be forgiving, be thankful, be authentic, be happy and be peace. Namaste~mama F
