DAY 107 POST-OP: To think that for so many years I suffered from a condition that I had ZERO control over is mind baffling to me. When I was first diagnosed I was determined to #kicklipedemaintheass and with the help my my medical professionals I am doing just that. My #flexitouch has traveled to Georgia, by way of North Carolina and to Illinois too. It’s about time to head back to the “dry heat” to hit the reset button for a few days before heading to Montana to witness @donahueandrea get hitched! It’s been a memorable few weeks east of the Mississippi, and I am so grateful to have an amazing family and friends, but #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet will not miss the humidity or mosquitos... I’ll leave those here for you all to cherish ❤️ #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #1in9 #11percent #mylympathicsystemisfdup #fulipedema #cornside (at Freeport, Illinois)

Wishing I wasn’t so far away tonight When I need to talk , I want to be at my parents house more than ever. Tonight is that... Dad is always good at the “listening” part. Mom is really good at the “talk”. Wishing #cornside was just a jeep drive away tonight. #AlwaysFindTheSilverLining (at Green Valley South, Henderson)

DAY 42 POST-OP: Made it through the first week back to school with a little more hop in my step, literally. Although I’ve been fighting a nasty bug since I was back #cornside I feel good in all other aspects. Today’s pictures from waking up, to how sexy the #compression is #ThatWasAJokeByTheWay Went to a movie after work today with @donahueandrea which was great, but damn it’s not comfortable unless you are in the seats where you can put your feet on the rails or at a luxury theater with reclining seats #FirstWorldProblemsIKnow Spending the rest of my Friday night the way #adulting is meant to be spent... #relaxing To all my fellow #lipedemafighters keep your chin up and don’t let the negativity of others get to you, because they don’t know how it feels #FULipedema #kicklipedemaintheass #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #mylympathicsystemisfdup #lipedema #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #drreptaforthewin @ms_jess_wilson @drrepta_plasticsurgery (at Green Valley South, Henderson)

POST-OP DAY 22: I survived a week to work. The next two weeks will consist of hydrating, elevating and compression. Pumping, pumping, pumping... I can’t wait to see my family, be #cornside & love on my nieces and nephews...

Day 8 Post-Op: Mom & dad headed back to #cornside, and I am not ashamed to admit that when I was alone in my house trying to get ready and put on my socks, I said a few choice words Fl very loud. I don’t like to sit still, so this is really hard for me, but I’ve been good today. Thank you to @donahueandrea @sd_on_ig @lineycat123 @trflanagan for keeping me company tonight along with neighbor Ali & neighbor Bill... For anyone that knows me well, “The SilverLining” is something I 100% believe in. To the point that even my students know that they are my SilverLining and one can tell you why, right @lv_jules 😉 Today has been good, the pain isn’t bad, but when I try to stand the blood rush to my feet is not comfortable AT ALL... but there is a throbbing sensation that makes standing hard... but then I pull up my big girl pants and am Ok... happy Friday from #thefourseasonsonblackberry #mylympathicsystemisfdup #FULipedema #lipedema #LipedemaFighter #lymphaticdrainage #lymphedema #NotFatFlooded #FloodedNotFat #EducateYourself #IamThe11Percent @ms_jess_wilson (at Green Valley South, Henderson)
