Over the counter WOW moment!

For the past 3 years the only way I could get the right fit on compression hose was to get custom fit hose. It would always take a few weeks to get them and the cost would make the insurance company only allow me 1 pair in 6 months. Usually a custom fit pair will cost around $400-500. I went the other day to get measured, they said why not try "over the counter"... I was like ok. My measurements are now within a range I can wear them. I was thilled. I got my first pair, which without insurance would have been $45.00 for 2 PAIR! The insurance picked up the complete cost. I took one look at them when I got home and kind of got worried. I was like those are never going to fit me. Low and behold, they fit perfect, even better than my custom fit pair. I'm thrilled about it. The best part is I can now get more pairs even if I have to buy them for that price. No more having to wash them daily. It really became a pain only having one set. I tested them all this week with all the running around I did. They have helped me maintained my lymphedema, I've had NO swelling. YAY! I hope everyone has a blessed 2008!

I've lost over 400 pounds!
I love helping others, if you have a question just ask!
