Dr. Herman (the plastic surgeon) has scheduled me for a consult on 10/16 to see if I am a canidate for the micro surgery procedure used in some lymphedemia patients.  I am so excited, I hope I qualify.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Hope you guys realize, this consult is to fix the lymphedemia not to remove any excess skin.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

I can't speak for the others...but I realized that was what it was for.  I will be researching the procedure over the next few days - I hadn't heard of it before and the nurse in me is curious!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

options available for lymphedema, including lymphatic massage, surgical removal of affected tissue, and a complex microsurgery called lymphovenous fistula

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.
