3/7/2024 0 Comments things le warriors think aboutSomething I miss thanks to LE. I miss cute shoes! I was always a sucker for chunky boots or low top converse tennis shoes. But now with my LE, I have to always wear comfortable shoes. Not to mention that trying to find shoes that actually fit my large and swollen foot and ankle is next to impossible.
Which makes shoe shopping annoying, and not something I ever want to do. I know a lot of LE warriors probably, like me, haven't had a pair of snow boots in years. I haven't been able to find a pair that I like that actually fit on my foot. Flip flops are my favorite, but of course you can't wear a compression sock with them, and your swollen odd foot is out there for all to stare at, and they do. Trust me. (BTW I don't care if they stare now. All I want to be is comfortable. If you are staring at my foot, you are the one with issues, lol.) When I used to worry about blisters if the heel was too stiff and rubbed when I walked, now I worry about my skin breaking. Ugh. Yeah, it's miserable. What got me thinking this was an ad on FB for super cute shoes. And all I could think about was missing shoes like that, then how the edges looked stiff (sharp) and how I'd worry they would cut into my balloon like foot...

AuthorI am living with Lymphedema for the past 20 years, however I wasn't diagnosed correctly until summer 2022. There is no cure, just managing the swelling and uncomfortable heaviness. I am now trying to learn how to make managing it and incorporate it into my daily life. Archives
