Well, that's quite a way you have of getting new cars......I am sorry that you hit the deer.....not even hunting season for deer right now
....they are so hard to miss when they come shooting across the road. They are always getting hit around here.
Sounds like you have a lot of struggles you are dealing with right now. Edema isn't anything to mess around with. My mom ended up with it but it was after her cancer surgery after they took her lymph nodes out. There is a message treatment for it that helps get the lymph fluid moving again in the legs. Hope they can find an easier solution for you though.
It's hard to take care of ourselves sometimes especially when we get into routines even if they aren't working for us.
Wishing you the best with this
