So sleepy

Okay, so this weekend was kinda crappy and I didn't get the results I wanted to today.

Measurements:
Thigh - Same, which is surprising because we've only been wrapping the lower leg. This means the fluid is moving up on its own.
Mid calf - Up 2 cm.
Ankle - Same
Foot - Same

Yesterday they didn't have room for me. They are so unbelievably busy all the time. I was also half asleep when they called and told me what time my appointment was for today, so I had to wake up super early today and verify the time.

My wounds are almost completely scabbed over. They are going to be beautiful scars in no time. After they finally scar over, I can get in the damn pool and lose weight. Stupid fat cells and their water retaining ways.

So they had a an observer come in and watch them wrap me up today. I think its great that more people want to go to school for massage and wrapping. They honestly save lives. It must be wonderful to make people feel normal again.

When I got home today, our power was out, so I just went in my room and fell asleep. I kept waking up because my heel was burning. I think that means the wraps are too tight and my circulation was getting cut off. I have a feeling that I'm gonna have to wake up in the middle of the night and unwrap. Unwrapping takes like 30 minutes because I have to completely roll everything back up. *falls asleep all tangled up*

Also, that "gel pack" is honestly just a bunch of cut up foam in a net stocking with both ends tied up. I wish I knew why it was called a gel pack. Maybe I'm just not getting it. :P
