What happened to you Doug?

I have something called Lymphedema. It's a chronic condition that causes swelling in my legs. I've had it for a decade, but in the last few years it's caused other issues like very poor healing if I would cut or scrape my legs. I had gone to 3 different doctors for treatment in the last several years with no results.

At the beginning of October I started going to a wound care clinic at a local hospital and the results have been spectacular! I'm pretty sure the techniques they use were developed in a Nazi concentration camp, but the results are awesome. They also sent me to a therapist to deal with the swelling and she has done a great job getting rid of it and teaching me how to keep it under control.

Between the clinic and the therapist I had about a month where I had 6 appointments a week. Now I'm down to one morning a week. It hasn't been easy trying to fit it all in and stick with their program, but I'm super happy with the progress. It's looking like I'll be completely done sometime in January.:big-grin:

Underneath all that lumpy wrapping is a bunch of chunks of foam in a tube that's wrapped around my leg. It's something new she's trying it get rid of the last of the stubborn swelling.

One of the sucky parts was that I had to keep my feet elevated as much as possible which meant no workshop time. Now that things are so much better I can start getting something done!
