Loving life with Lymphedema

Monday Free People Low-Rise Flare Jeans .  While I don't actually own these, I thought they would be great for Bertha !  Not sure I can pull them off though. Tuesday   Ugg Mini Bailey Button Boot .  The only style Ugg that fits me.  I'm just got a hole in the toe of mine, so I know what will be on my Christmas list. Wednesday & Thursday Wednesday I was running around to different doctors appointments.  Both Wednesday & Thursday I wore my favorite legging ever!!!  Zella's High-Rise Live In Legging.  It's thick, so you never have that see through awkwardness.  They are true to their name, I live in these, they also last forever!  Currently they are on sale at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, which you can shop if you have any of the Nordstrom cards, otherwise you can get them at the sale price on July 20th. Do yourself a favor and buy at least 2 pairs, also they come in Regular and Plus sizes, w

Mothers Day I developed a erysipelas infection in Bertha .  Happy Mothers Day you get a fever, chills and horrible pain in your leg . . . I don't think Hallmark has a card for that.  I was laying low for a few days, so my husband picked them up.  I opened the box and to my surprise they felt light as a feather.  The body of the sandal is completely made of EVA
