I have lymphadema in my legs, complicated by venious stasis, complicated by the obesity, complicated by sleep apnea, complicated by previous injuries, complicated by the beginning stages of diabetes.  Its complicated.

Back in june I got a wound on my bad leg (they’re both bad.  but, the worst leg).  I didnt do what I should have done to keep it healthy, and it lead to yet another infection.  That infection lead to me having an all over body infection, which ran me a temperature of 105.  I was delerious and drug into the hospital in the middle of june.  I was in for 12 days.

 During that time in the hopsital I lost all the skin from my left leg due to the swelling and infection.  It had to regrow, which it did in less than a month.  I was very, very ill.  I still havent even remotely recovered.  During that time I developed carpal tunnel syndrome. 

To make matters worse I was seeing a woman who had I fallen for.  I’d been dating her only 5 months or so, but, I had developed some feelings.  Unfortunately things didnt work out between us and it came to a head during my hospital stay.  I will gladly admit that my own feelings, actions, and choices up to that point lead to our problems during my hospital stay… however it does take two to tango.  She ended up seeing my best friend of 2 years, while I was in the hospital.  As far as I know they’re still together now.

 I’m glad for them.  you cant help who you are attracted to or whom you want.  However, the timing of course sucked.  She stuck it out with me for a couple of months and really helped me get quite a bit of my shit back together.  I’m really glad.  I wished my ‘best friend’ had done the same.

Obviously I see neither of them now.  Its a shame too.  I miss my friend.

My leg was ‘officially’ healed, with fresh new skin, back in july.  around july 20th (near my brithday) it was back to the hospital I went.  Compression therapy helps, but does not always prevent.  So, frequent infections are part of the deal.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to know what I was referring to about this past summer, and the resulting impact and pain and suffering and nightmare, there it is.  Now you know.

Enjoy!

About me:
I’m a 34 year old disabled man.  I’m unable to work due to my health, at this time.  I weigh around 500 pounds (5 foot, 10 inches in height) and have struggled with my weight the entirety of my life.  I’ve always been enormous.  It is a daily struggle to not be larger than I currently am.  I have, in fact, been closer to 600 pounds at one point in my life. 

I’m funny.  I’m well spoken.  I’m friendly.  I’m smart.  These are the things I think would bring most people here, rather than just the sheer size of me.  But, who knows. 

Regardless of the reasons you are here, you are welcome to be here.  Read and enjoy.
