11:00am
Today was our second appointment with Huyen Lu Vitale. This woman is a complete Godsend. She listens, she explains, she answers questions, and makes sure my mom and I both understand what she's doing before she moves on to the next thing, even if it takes more time, she takes her time to make sure we know what she's doing.
I was able to watch, for the first time, my mother getting her massage done. Huyen applied lotion, making sure that she wasn't hurting my mom, and then she cut and fashioned the garments. First the mesh stocking, then this gauzy stuff that is supposed to protect her leg from feeling the foam. Her toes were wrapped, and then this thick foam was placed on.
I was able to get up close and personal, by holding my moms leg as Huyen wrapped her leg. I don't think I'll ever think of or use the word 'Has' again without thinking about her. LOL
The first wrap on her foot, is wrapped much like a Roman sandal, and then the second wrap is 'H-A-S' -- Heel, Ankle, Sole. First, anchoring, then around the heel, then the ankle, then the sole, and repeated, though she didn't end at the foot area, she brought it up a bit, so it didn't unravel or hurt my moms foot when she walked; all of this was around a piece of foam that covered her foot, almost to the toes.
Then there was the longer wrapping, which was a spiral, and she also did a Herringbone wrap as well, though she said that wasn't too important, and I wouldn't have to do that part, just the spiral. This was around a longer piece of foam that covered from the ankle to the knee.
Finally there was the thigh piece, and more wrapping. It all looked very uncomfortable for my mom, but as much as I don't like her to be uncomfortable, I know it's for the best.
Today was big time difficult, especially when we got home as well. It was sweltering hot, and my mom was rather annoyed. She felt as though she couldn't catch her breath, and instead of sleeping in her bed, she caught a few Zzz's in her computer chair.
Despite her being a bit testy today, I'm very proud of her. She lasted from around 12:30pm until 2am with the wrap, before she lost the battle with the wrap, and had to take it off.
Tomorrow, we go back again. I hope it's easier for her.

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
