As many of you know that read my blog I was a bank teller for almost two years. While working as a bank teller I never encountered a soul that tried to deposit verbal excuses. Sometimes fraudulent checks or counterfeit bills, but never excuses.
When
I prayed to God about what I should blog about today, his answer was my
lymphedema. I smiled and felt at peace with His answer. For the past
week since I blogged about living with lymphedema for the very first time
I have received so much feedback and support.
If
any of my readers remember the show True Life that was on MTV in the
2000’s? If any of you do remember that show, then you already know that
it did inspire this blog post!
I have
been living with lymphedema for the past 10 years. My lymphedema happened from
walking on my left sprained ankle that did not heal properly. The reason why I
was so anxious to start walking on my sprained foot again created the condition. I walked to and from school every weekday.

This was
my very first Mother’s Day and I ended up crying. I cried tears of pure joy and
satisfaction. I was on an extended natural high today. My skin glowed. My smile
was bright, and my heart was full. My husband of now 4 ½ years had treated me
to The Cheesecake Factory for the very first time. We both had never been to
the restaurant in our lives. It was a new and refreshing atmosphere to us both.
The food and the service were great, and it felt special.
What’s
going well in my life right now is my marriage. I hardly ever really
touch on my marriage on my blog mainly because I’m not really open to
sharing my marriage. I’ve been married ever since December 20th, 2013.
According
to Women's Health Government, “Most
women ages 21 to 65 should get Pap tests as part of routine health care. Even
if you are not currently sexually active, you should still have a Pap test.”
Women who have gone through menopause and are younger than 65 still need
regular Pap tests as well.
I’m
thankful for what I have because I know that I am bless. I'm very fortunate to
still be alive and well. On the days that I may feel like my back is up against
a wall, I still have faith that everything will eventually be alright. I'm
talking about having that mustard seed faith that keeps me spiritually
grounded.
I have
been becoming more comfortable with being accepting. Being accepting of my
shortcomings, imperfections circumstances, and past.
For me, being accepting of myself has been getting easier. I am own the biggest critic at times and can admit that I overthink the simplistic of things. There are days that I cannot seem to get out of my own head.
