Walking down the isle at my youngest daughter's wedding Sept 2011 was hard. Going to the park and zoo with my Granddaughter. Edema, blood clots and swelling in both legs and lungs. Use to do wedding photography but can't keep up with the 20 something wedding party any longer. I have been sleeping in my electronic recliner for two years now and can't sleep in a normal bed or even a hospital bed. Used to perform music at open mics but don't have the energy any longer. These are the main issues I'm having my surgery this coming Monday morning. 4-9-12. Blessings and good luck to all of you.
