Glad when it's done : FSGS Sucks

I'll be sooo glad when this whole house selling crap is over with. I MISS my elliptical, and my thighs are taking the brunt of it.

I had to go dress shopping on Tuesday for a funeral. wow. I haven't quite felt that crappy about my physical appearance in awhile. The flattering glow of fluorescent lighting, the cankles from it being the end of the day, the weirdness of my legs due to the pressure from my boots redistributing all that water. It's awesome.

Most of the water weight has come back, but not quite all. It seems to have nestled itself snugly in my gut, which is freaking awesome when you're shopping for clothes. I used to LOVE shopping....now it just depresses me.

I did find a dress, but I'm gonna have to deal with being uncomfortable all day due to the Spanx I'll be wearing to smooth out my gut. Loving life lately.

That's not what I mean...I do love my life, at least parts of it. And I AM thankful that I'm not any worse off than I am...I'm thankful for THAT everyday. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to bitch and moan about the things I hate. Nope. Not a chance. I feed off of the bitterness :)

  2. I'm going to my father in law's wedding tomorrow. I am trying to figure out how to hide my swollen feet while wearing a dress. I wonder if it will be cold in Nashville tomorrow? I guess I could buy some spanx tights. They make those right?

  3. I WISH! I thought about wearing some cute shoes and tights, but I've decided boots hide the elephant legs better...less to draw attention to ;)

    Heck, even those compression stockings don't help...they only push up the swelling to my knees...

I wish I would've had this post ready because I had so many people reach out to me after the last one that wanted to share my info.  I&#...
