My wonderful friend. No problem dear. I was just concerned because my smart phone has been acting really stupid!

Leeney (Ilene) Greenwell
Technology is a beautiful thing.....hope you have an awesome day! And a question - did I see that you run? Do you run with the lymphedema? My vascular surgeon tells me I need to stop focusing on running and bike but I want to run more than anything!!!!
June 7, 2011
Michele E.
:-) Yes mam. Order taken to heart! YOU TOO~
No dear - I don't run. My fun is on the eliptical (sp?). I don't think my therapist would approve of me running!! My therapist also told me that biking is better!
Michele E.
You are not alone. I understand. :-) I sweat putting on my "stuff". You'd think I'd be skinny minnie by now!

It is a great way to exit a bbq early. I think I am "hot" mummy wrapped...and yes...my legs have gone down inches already - I told my therapist I had best drop sizes! :) I am tired....from sitting in the press 2 hours a day, to washing garments, to fighting to get them on...there has to be calories burned in all that activity!

I know, I know. There's a book that I picked up dealing with the emotions that lymphedema patients go through. I left it home, but will send you the name of it. I think the author is Elizabeth McMahon. What state do you live in? I am in NY.

Leeney (Ilene) Greenwell
So we do deal with emotions? If I hear someone else say "it is what it is".....to which I say yes, but it isn't your "what is." Going to wrap them for a day and then we can discuss. I am in Missouri. Would appreciate the book name!
