Having issues with lymphedema (swelling) in my left arm. To help remedy that I’m down 30 lbs using keto and now going to get my arm wrapped to hopefully reduce its size. This last swelling was due to sunburn.
(Some research and anecdotal evidence suggest a ketogenic diet may also help those with Lymphedema.)
Anyway, after editing, adding a picture, and pressing POST. I panicked! 😱 I think the post went to my general FB page and not the closed group!
Why?
Why had I panicked? “What was I ashamed/embarrassed about?”
Was it that I didn’t want people to see what was going on with me now?”
I mean, “I’ve been wearing compression sleeves for a couple of years.“
I’m still unclear, regarding my panic. But I decided, “It’s okay. It’s done & out there!” Then I couldn’t find the doggone post! Yep, it disappeared! So, I decided to write about it and post it on my blog site. Yep, the one I stopped in January of this year, but evidently – I’m starting again.
For two years I posted every Thursday about Healing, Breast Cancer and Body Image at Hwrichard.infoThis time may not be as frequent – once a month, every two weeks, or new and different topics. Who knows?
What Counts?
I’m beginning again! So welcome back or if you’re new to the site, I’m glad you’re herealso – buckle up! It’s gonna be an interesting ride.

What is it like being a caregiver when I was cared for so expertly? When I was a caregiver last month I realized – it’s really hard work! And it wasn’t that major big deal. I mean, my patient was mobile, just moving slowly and unable to lift heavy things.
