Well, be careful what you ask for. Throughout these last few weeks, I've been really frustrated with the fact that I haven't really known what it is causing the swelling in my legs and I finally get a diagnosis, lymphedema. To spare you the Googling, it's a condition where the lymphatic system in a part of your body (in my case, the legs) is shot and fluid doesn't get re-routed like its supposed to, causing swelling. pain, and reduced function. It is chronic and there is no cure. Heavy for a 26 year old, but life goes on I guess. There is a treatment for it that consists of this four time a week for four week thing I have to go to a physical therapist for, then after that, I have to keep my legs compressed and bandaged in order to keep them from returning to this size for...well, the rest of my life. I've come to terms with it and I'm willing to do what is needed to maintain my mobility, so I'm not gonna let it keep me down.
On the brighter side, possibly related to such a diagnosis, I've been filled with a bit of renewed purpose and my days have a bit of structure to them now. I have a bit more of a command of my sleep schedule now and I think I have a streaming schedule in mind. It's going to be three times a week, but the only day that I can guarantee at this point is Saturday since my work schedule changes every week. Remember, if you want to watch, it's twitch.tv/ninja_tank25. I'm not accepting donations at this time, but if you want to help, just spread the word and follow my stream! For now, I am playing Skyrim and getting sent to Sovngarde every 10 minutes, so it should be a good time. As for the time, on the days I do stream, it should be midday, so around 2 pm ~ 5 pm CST...so now-ish, so if you'll excuse me, I gotta get ready!
Game on!
