#flexitouch

POST-OP DAY 143: Moving the #lymph the best way possible. I couldn’t sleep so I decided to head on over to @lifetime.life to swim before heading to work today. I slacked all week because I usually come between 8-11. Loving my waterproof phone case so I can listen to my favorite podcast @crimejunkiepodcast with my waterproof Bluetooth earbuds @plantronics as I kick my way back and forth in the lap lanes to get my #LympathicSystem doing its job. Plus my #flexitouch broke last night, which isn’t good considering my insurance didn’t cover it... but there is always a #silverlining I am loving how I feel and how much better I am able to move. Crazy to think that a year ago I was in a completely different mindset. I swear the only way I got through the darkness was my family, close friends, my work family and my students. The kids (students) kept my spirits good at work, along with my nieces, nephews and younger cousins were a driving force to #kicklipedemaintheass and get the old Jess back. I am in such a better place mentally and physically. It really is true, if you’re not feeling well physically, your emotional/mental health you will suffer. Our principal @coronadocougar said it best at our opening day meeting with the faculty about keeping our mental and emotional health a priority so we can better serve our students. IT’S SO TRUE!!! @nhermane these pics are for you...it’s not dark😁 come swim with me!!! #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #LipedemaIsReal #LipedemaPartyOf1in9 #fulipedema #11percent #1in9 #byebyebyelipedema @drrepta_plasticsurgery #drreptaforthewin @rosner68 @therosners #drrosnerforthewin @laurie_ann123 #nplaurieforthewin #alwaysfindthesilverlining #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #LoveMyJob (at Life Time Athletic - Green Valley)

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)

DAY 18 POST-OP: Today was what my soul needed. I missed my students and student aides so very very much. They are my #SilverLining when it comes to my career It was hard waking up this morning but thanks to @piko2piko67 for the wake-up call I made it. I tried not to be on my feet, but when you teach in the environment I do, it’s hard not to be. My legs don’t hurt terribly bad, but they are swollen as you can see in the last few pictures compared to this morning: I am glad I took the 2 weeks like @drrepta_plasticsurgery recommended because I would never have lasted a full day of work Looking forward to the holidays, seeing my family & being #Cornside soon... I need it #compression #mylympathicsystemisfdup #MyLymphaticSystemIsFedUp #FULipedema #lipedema #LipedemaFighter #flexitouch #TheGirlWithTheSkinnyFeet @ms_jess_wilson @msmargieh @deven.abercrombie @laurenabercrombiee @kellirae78 @lv_jules #MyStudentsAreMySilverLining #Room220 #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #EducateOthersAndAdvocateForYourself (at Green Valley South, Henderson)
