Update 8/19

I was discharged from the Rehab hospital on Monday after meeting my phys. therapy goals. Sure enough, though, as soon as I got home, my legs started swelling again. Go figure.

I've got an appointment with a doctor today who I hope is supposed to help me get some specialized lymphedema treatment to make the swelling go away. As always, please cross your fingers for me.

@leejackson They're crossed, Lee. Best wishes with your next appointment.

@leejackson
Amazon has some circulation/compression/massage units that helped my girl and now a liver transplant patient.
My only regret was not getting them sooner for her.
If you like I can send a link but no pressure. I hope all else is going well🤗

@damselfly59 Go ahead and send it, although I'm going to wait until I talk to the lymphedema specialists before I make any decisions. I hope you understand - I do appreciate your effort and info. Thank you.

@leejackson
Absolutely! Would not expect otherwise. He may be able to get a better one or covered by insurance. Or better yet fix it.
I always hesitate on medical stuff but decide I'd rather be deemed crazy if it makes a difference.

@damselfly59 Thank you very much! I will revisit this link after the appointment(s). Very much obliged!

@leejackson i had that, and the stuff was seeping through my skin and making puddles on the floor. compression was'nt very helpful. what finally worked was sleeping with my feet raised above my torso. that said, i'm no doctor and i hope your actual doctor works out well. good luck.
