I received the news that my dad passed away today.

I received the news that my dad passed away today.
I’m sadder than I thought I would be.
We hadn’t talked for the last few years but part me always thought he’d get his act together and we’d talk again.
It’s weird grieving someone that was toxic in your life. The emotions are all over the place.
I think the hardest thing is I have now lost both parents before the age of 40.

Scars just show I took back control... The scarrin

Scars just show I took back control...
The scarring never bothered me but I noticed today how much lighter the ones on my lower legs were looking. I rarely think about it as they are almost always covered by compression.
I am happy to show that even with the deep bruising I had early on that they are healing up great.

Original surgery date: 2/11/20

Just gotta smile through all the bullshit right?

Just gotta smile through all the bullshit right?
I feel like no matter what I do right now I just fall deeper and deeper behind. Taking back control of ones health should not make you so stressed out and worried if you can afford both treatments and food.
I’m so tired of going through this alone. I feel so close to giving up. But I know I’m struggling for all the right reasons and that I have to be the voice not only for myself but for all of the others needing the help for Lipedema as well.
One day the struggle will be done and the pain will be gone but for now it seems incredibly overwhelming.

#preopbloodwork and #ekg done... #abdominalultrasound scheduled for next week.
Seem unreal that I’m prepping for my FOURTH surgery. I’m so excited and incredibly lucky to be on this journey that I thought would never happen.
Less than a month till I get to see some of my favorite people 💜

I’ve received a lot of messages asking if ive ha

I’ve received a lot of messages asking if ive had any difficulties with surgery or the pandemic cause I always seem positive... first 😂😂😂 anyone that knows me in real life knows I’m the sarcastic jaded one. Second I just feel we all see so many sad Lipedema lymphedema stories that I didn’t want to add to it. I wanted to show there’s hope. Third I might seem positive all the time cause it really has been an uphill year for me. I feel the best I’ve ever felt and some amazing people came into my life.
But if you want a dose of the other side of my reality here it is. I’m struggling big time. Mentally I’m down deep. I currently am lacking a bit part of my support system and I’m trying to adjust to that. Working from home has been great but it has killed my desire to make myself look presentable. When I’m home I’m typically in some combo of mismatched leggings and tank. Because 80% of what I own doesn’t fit me right anymore so my style is now “laundry day” most of the time 😂 I can’t justify getting new clothes till after the next surgery so I just power on.. (but just a heads up for all the guys in my DMs it’s not all picture perfect 😂)
I miss friends. I miss not being on the edge of a panic attack when I have to run to the store wondering if this is the trip that’s gonna give me covid and push back my surgery plans. I miss sparks and thangs. I miss meeting new people and having flirty sarcastic conversations but everyone on the dating sites wanted to instantly meet during a pandemic when restaurants are closed (how?!?)
I guess I’m just saying know you aren’t alone in this as much as it feels like it’s a battle we are fighting alone.

100 days post op for the thighs... (date is wrong

100 days post op for the thighs... (date is wrong in pic 🤦🏼‍♀️ should be 1/9/21) it crazy to me that it’s been 100 days since my 3rd surgery. Just in the last few days I noticed a major drop in swelling. I can tell with how my @lipoelastic leggings fit and just the overall tightness is so different.
My right leg feels the most normal. It’s soft and squishy. The Muppets look amazing and don’t look like they have been through surgeries. My left thigh has a bump of fibrotic swelling by the knee and by the one drain site. The fibrotic spot by the drain scar is so itchy anytime I use my #lymphapress or vibration plate or massage gun. I take it as a good sign that stuff is still moving and being itchy but ugh it’s annoying at times. The left thigh has started growing hair 🤷🏼‍♀️ like more than I’ve ever had before. Not so thrilled with that 😂
It has definitely been the roughest of my surgeries so far but I would do all of it over again because it’s been so worth it.

I haven’t posted an updated on my lower legs in

I haven’t posted an updated on my lower legs in what seems like forever because honestly I hadn’t noticed the difference. It’s so weird how the mind lags and shows you an old image of yourself.
I’ve been thinking about my lower legs a lot as we are coming up on a year once my first surgery (wha?!?)
It is amazing to go into 2021 not feeling like my legs are gonna just stop working on me.
Things I randomly realized over the last month or so:
-There was no feeling of such tight swelling that they were going to explode during all the holiday craziness. (That was safely in my house with just my kid)
- my snow boots laced up
- most of my straight leg pants are baggy af from the knee down (semi baggy in the thighs now)
- the hair regrowth is a yay! Healthy legs and booo I have to deal with this now then I just hide it behind compression 😂
- I can feel my original injury spot on my left leg which I haven’t been able to feel in 20 years.
- top of my feet aren’t puffy up most days

My top 9 in 2020 were all about Lipedema removal and embracing what this condition does to your body. That makes me happy. 💜
And it is perfectly fitting that my #1post features @drjaimeschwartz my life has been forever changed thanks to his kindness and believing that I was struggling with something that had taken over control of my life.
2020 was the start of a new life for me.

It also fits so well with the adjustable ear loops 💜 I highly recommend her mask to help keep everyone safe during this time.. I’m trying to stay safe so I can keep my surgery date in February.

Ginger was never one for the hustle and bustle of

Ginger was never one for the hustle and bustle of the Christmas as she felt it made everyone forget Winter Solstice. But then Ginger finds she is the soul heiress of the quaint, picturesque town of Pearsville, which just happens to be known for its Christmas celebration. Will she leave behind her high rise to take over when the holiday spirit and a certain handsome stranger charm their way beyond the sass? To be continued...

Never be so polite, you forget your power
Never wield such power, you forget to be polite - @taylorswift

Words we could all remember from time to time. This year has been a lot for everyone. And for a lot of us we’ve been struggling with other issues such as #lipedema or #lymphedema for years.
Our struggle is paving the way for so many others as long as we keep fighting for the medical help we deserve.
We must keep speaking up with polite power.
