Tammi, I'm sorry to hear about your husband. He might want to ask his physical therapist about manual lymph drainage, which is a gentle massage-type procedure that can really cut the swelling down. Again, ask me how I know!
Definitely! Attitude makes a huge difference. I see it daily and can tell a bad attitude day by the limp!

It's easy to get discouraged but it's important to step back and see how far you've come. It's like watching a young one grow up. You don't see the small changes when you see them all the time but an aunt or uncle comes by and sees that jr. has shot up since the last time they saw them.
cricket! Thanks for that information. I passed it on to DH. The swelling I think is the worst of most of what's remaining - or the cause of most problems - so we want to get on top of it.
