About Me
"I am not a number. I am a free man!" Heres the thing, I have trouble writing these parts because it feels kind of, well, self absorbed. I know thats my problem, and hey, it does make life easier for other people who are looking for friends, contacts, support, and since I'm generally a nice fellow who believes passionatly that friendship and support is a two way street, I promise to give it a shot, however since at the moment I haven't had enough coffee, and I have to go attend to yard work before the desert sun makes it impossible to venture outside with less than 2500 SPF sunscreen on, I'll probably screw this attempt up, so I'll fix it later. Yaknow whats funny, that last bit kind of describes me pretty well on its own! BTW, I know that some people are dealing with VERY serious challanges here, please please PLEASE never take any joking or sarcasm I may spill as lessening my respect and compassion for your situation. I tend to just write as I think/speak, (yes, I enven think with typo's), and, um, well, my philosophy is "Do no harm, do some good, try." "My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement." ~ Joe VS The Volcano

Close Lymphedema
It was a rainy Dark cycle on the heliotropical planet of Vlorpoifdv..... Oh... nevermind.... I have been overweight my entire life. I had Cellulitiss about 12 years ago, which caused my left let to start suffering from Lymphedemia, which then caused recurrent Cellulitis every other year (yay) Due to my weight and the size of my leg, it was never able to get under control. Last year i had Gastric Bypass surgery, (BTW, which is a great tool) and that helped me get to the point where I could start excersising thats what really helped me start to lose weight.. so now I'm down 200 pounds from my heaviest, still about 65 more to go till I'm happy, and the weight loss has allowed me to finally treat my leg. I;m currently using support hose, and besides the fact that they sort of suck in the desert, I'm very happy with the progress. My PT has told me that since my leg was damaged due to illness, and since the progress has been so rapid since I started therapy (one of the best reactions she has ever seen in over 20 years) she is actually hopefull that I havent damaged my leg to much, and theres a chance that with continued weight loss, working out, and the support hose, my leg may start working correctly on it's own in a few years. She has seen it happen before with people in similar situations as mine, which makes me happy, even if it doesnt happen, it's nice to know that the damage done isnt to severe. But, no matter what, I'm just gonna take care of myself.
