@wsh66 Hey Stephen, they will wrap it and teach me how to do it. I know about cellulitis unfortunately, I had it last summer in the other leg - several times. I think it’s finally gone from the leg now (the one that’s so swollen). That subject, whether or not I still have cellulitis, is the straw that broke the camel’s back when it came to my doctor. She tells me “well what do you want me to do? If I keep giving you antibiotics you’ll get c.diff”. I don’t know what to do and I’m not going to tell you- I want to work together with you. Not have you ask me to tell you what to do! She’s always been a little too unsure. Sorry....I just had to vent!
Well, you never tell me how YOU are!

You've got to find a new doctor or a second doctor that specializes in your kind of lymphedema. I saw my specialist today and she didn't know of anyone in your area but she's not familiar with your area at all. She pointed out to me that you and I have very different kinds of lymphedema with your is being caused by a heart condition. She said once your leg is healed that wrapping wood be important. Once your leg is under control and you're ready for garments to wear after the wrapping phase go to compression Guru. Com they are the lowest priced and most knowledgeable dealers for garments bandages compression socks the whole nine yards of everything that you can use. Please find a lymphedema doctor don't go on letting this get worse and worse. Cellulitis is no joke and if it goes septic on you it's real serious. If you can't find a lymphedema specialist maybe you should look at wound care specialist who can help you with getting your leg under control to where it's not weeping and then you can start wrapping it and controlling it. Life is a lot easier once you have this thing under control. Good luck love and blessings
