Love Filled Shoes

I don’t know why I woke up at 4:30 a.m. this morning but when I did I was in pain. Usually when I sleep at night the swelling in my legs decrease. This morning it felt like the fluid and calves where going to burst out of the skin every time I touched them.

So what is the cure for water retention. I don’t think there ever will be a cure but here are some suggestions. The first one is a manditory suggestion and that’s to go see a Doctor. As the eHow post says there could be something wrong with the heart, glands, kidneys and etc.

Other suggestions include eating cucumbers, watermelon, celery, and fruits that have a large water content. I’m going to try elevating my legs when I’m sitting and eating these things. If these items, exercise, and drinking water do not help then I’ll head to the doctors.

Ok, let me wipe the tears from my eyes before I short circuit my keyboard. I think I need to start watching Extreme Home Makeover more, especially when I need a dose of inspiration. Tonight Ty and the crew built a home for the Hughs family. I have to say that whole family is absolutely inspirational.

Most people would consider Patrick Henry Hughes disabled. That’s a shame because they are only looking with their eyes and not the other senses that were given to them. It really makes me ashamed to sit here and think that I have problems and can’t get past the roadblocks when a 19 year old is having a full life even though he is blind, has physical boundaries, and is bound to a wheelchair.

It’s just more proof that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. My life and body may not be 100 percent perfect but I can live a full and productive life no matter what I’m dealing with. As of now, I will be taking steps towards the things that I want to do in life no matter what my size is. Of course there are going to be some issues and situations that I’m going to have to work around but I’m not hiding in the house any longer.

I hope that you will watch The Hughs Family episode and become inspired like I did. Don’t let anything hold you back from achieving the things that you want to do in life.
