It is so hard not to give up.

*swims with special cyborg legs*

OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT. I got signed up for the poooool. I got my pool schedule. Hopefully swimming Wednesday!!!

*dusts for cobwebs*

Little update:

My wound has finally healed! I don't know when I'm going to get in the pool, but hopefully it will be soon. I can't wait to be exhausted.

All of my measurements are down, but I think I've hit a plateau. I think we should start wrapping my thigh soon so the measurements will continue to go down. Eventually I should be able to wear a thigh high stocking instead of all the wraps. Oo-la-la.

My nurses/therapists have all been trying to help me get my benefits. One of them wrote a really nice letter for me. Included with the letter was a story about a guy with a similar story to mine. He was in a car accident that crushed his legs and he had to go through a full year of therapy. A whole year? God. I can't imagine a whole year, let alone my whole life dedicated to taking care of this. But that's exactly what it is. A life long battle with wraps and stockings.
