Updated leg pics
I had someone email me today asking to do an update about my legs so here I am.
As most of you know I have a condition called Lymphedema, which causes swelling in my legs. It was severe in my case. I just got a recent picture added. I couldn't believe the difference myself. It's because of this surgery I'm able to walk again. I can move my legs without them feeling like I have weights around my ankles. It's been amazing all I can do now. I feel fantastic! I know I'm looking still at some major surgery to fix the deformed look from the hanging skin, but I'm just happy to have my legs and walk again!
Here's a before and after picture
