I haven't been referred to any specialist for the lymphadema as of yet. The surgeon and plastic surgeon both said that support hose will help and my plastic surgeon said that moving around will help. I didn't think that I could wear the support hose yet since I still have an open wound on my foot about the size of a quarter, but apparently it is ok.

The doctor and nurses at the wound care center at Florida Hospital said it was ok and gave me a pair of T.E.D.s to wear. They sent me down to have a venel doppler first to make sure that I didn't have any clots then gave me the ok to wear the stocking. This was mainly because of my pre-existing edema.

It's an interesting challenge trying to put them on, especially with a bandaged hole in the side of my foot. LOL. I'll have to get measured and pick up some more, but I'll wait for now. They are going to put a wound vac on my foot and the drain tubing will come out a hole in the toe area. I'm not sure how strong a stocking to use in conjunction with the drain tubing.

I have to give a big shout out for the doctors, nurses and staff at the wound center at Florida Hospital Orlando. They are fantastic!

I'll try a soak in the tub, but I need to pick up some opsite or something to seal the wound first.

Thanks everyone for the information.
