Hi Jackie @travelgirl I am happy that the lymphedema issue is not too serious but am concerned about the knee since it's a big problem for me, especially the old man bathroom trips at night. I'm mean if you want to see something funny, picture a 240 lb man gently getting out of bed, almost falling over trying to put pressure on the right leg and trying to do the hop step to the bathroom. I did break out grandma's walker last night but hate to get used to using it. The lymphedema specialist put in for a consultation appointment with orthopedics when I first met with him June 6th and they still don't have a clue as to when it will be scheduled even after the x-ray results of the knee are back and show advanced degenerative arthritis, loose bodies and more. From the little research I've done there has been good success with removing the loose bodies so I'm hoping that may help with my knee but will just have too wait.

On the bright side...it's Monday and I'm still here!!
