Lymphedema

I was officially diagnosed with Lymphedema in both legs just a month ago, although I’ve had edema with swollen feet and legs for two years, along with a radiation ulcer.

Paint Chip Poetry

This is how I do mine, I select 5-6 paint chip colors, a word prompt and a line from the lyrics of the song I are listening to right now, or song number six in my music playlist. Then I write a poem and find an image to illustrate it. The word prompt for thisContinue reading “Paint Chip Poetry”

Black Lives Matter
