@vickister61 Is it, relly? Wow, nice to be talking to you! My mother is doing great. She did the liposuction and now her leg is functioning perfectly fine. She's so happy she did it, it was worth every penny, she says. The feeling of having a normal leg again is undescribable; she seems so much happier now. But she still has to wear stockings, but it's OK.

I hope you're happy and feeling good although you did not do the surgery. It breaks my heart to know that you're not able to do it too.

I like this video but when that lady from Sweden had lymphedema I felt so emotional and when Vicki had lymphedema as well.
