Yesterday, my Wound Care appointment sucked. I got yet another compression wrap on my left leg. And I had noticed a new spot on my right shin, so I showed them yesterday. I didn't think it was a big deal. I was wrong. You guessed it. A compression wrap on that leg too. It makes EVERYTHING so much harder.
I'm glad you are making time to grieve (please call it that and feel empowered caring for yourself) and recognizing that time is limited because you deserve to live well no matter the challenges you face.
It wasn't just feeling sorry for myself. When I was getting ready for bed, I discovered that the right wrap was bunched up around mid-shin from someone in too big of a hurry yesterday.
