LE/MLD/MFR Therapist and Additional Resources

Almost six months ago, I had my exchange to permanent saline implants. Immediately after surgery, the right side looked pretty good, but Lefty looked like a small animal crawing over my shoulder.

The PS (who I loved and respected) said it was fluid from all the pocket work he did during Exchange, and "maybe it will reabsorb into your body" at some point in the future. It didn't.

I also never lost that "Iron Bra" feeling. Having been stitched internally from stem to stern during Exchange, I woke up feeling like I still had TEs in. That  tightness never went away, and all the PS said was "give it time." He couldn't promise that it would ever go away.

The LE therapist I was referred to at the hospital could not help me at all, and the incredibly expensive compression garments she ordered for me were useless. 

Then I met my wonderful, awesome new therapist - Julie - who took the time to really listen to me, to review my surgical reports, and to look me in the eye and say "I can help you."

It has been three weeks and nothing short of amazing the way I look and feel. (I have another post on here that describes in detail the work she is doing to resolve my issues.)

The purpose of this post is not to advertise her services, but rather to offer another series of links to videos and articles that she feels are so important for women to understand. She tries to keep up with the latest research, and post something educational at least once a week.

It's also to let other ladies know that sometimes we have to be persistent - and even aggressive - in pursuing relief and hope for our futures.
