We received this video from our patient Kaylee a couple weeks ago. I know it's hard to hear what she's saying - after all, her husband took this right after surgery with Dr. Granzow and you can see she's still kinda under the spell of her anesthesia wearing off. Here's how Kaylee described it:

"There were many occurrences where I kept saying how I just wanted to hug Dr. Granzow and Carson. Definitely says a lot about how special they make patients feel when the first thing they want after surgery is a hug!! (Rest assured, I did eventually get my hugs!❤️😂)"

Hugs back to you, Kaylee! You always keep it real, and we appreciate you.

Today is World Physical Therapy Day! This year, the official theme focuses on the role of physical therapy and physical activity in preventing, managing, and rehabilitating cardiovascular disease and stroke.

To avoid any confusion, physiotherapy and physical therapy are the same healthcare profession. The difference is that in the U.S. we mostly use the term "physical therapy," while in Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, "physiotherapy" is used.

At the Granzow Lymphedema & Lipedema Center, our clinical staff, which includes a nurse, physician assistants, occupational therapists, and a physical therapist (all certified lymphedema therapists) work alongside Dr. Granzow to help reduce pain and restore movement for all of our patients.

Happy PT Day!

As most of us look toward a long Labor Day weekend, we hope you will have time to celebrate the holiday with family and friends at local and public gatherings, parades or special events. The holiday was created by the American labor movement in the late 19th century. For many, it signifies the end of summer.

We hope you enjoy a safe holiday. Our office will be closed on Monday, September 7 but we'll be back at our desks on Tuesday in time to celebrate World Physical Therapy Day.

For those new to lymphedema, we want to review its Stages:

Most patients are diagnosed with either Stage 1 or Stage II lymphedema. Most patients who first notice something is wrong are experiencing Stage 1. In Stage 1, patients experience a build up of excess lymphatic fluid, often in one arm or leg, but also bilaterally. The affected limb swells, but can be reduced to the normal size on a good day or with non-surgicall conservative treatment. Most patients with Stage 1 lymphedema can be treated with occupational therapy or physical therapy (preferably by a Certified Lymphedema Therapist), compression garments or bandaging, elevating the limb(s) or other modalities.

If Stage 1 lymphedema goes untreated, damage to the surrounding structures, including the lymphatic drainage system, may occur. This causes more build-up and even more damage. The cycle repeats and eventually leads to permanent deposit of fat and protein. Once theis occurs, the patient is considered to have Stage II lymphedema, which requires a combination of surgery and conservative treatments.

Check out our Success Stories, where we describe each patient's general symptoms and eventual outcomes. Some have had second stage surgeries since we've posted their stories. Many of you will relate to one or more of our patients' journeys found here: https://lymphedemasurgeon.com/success-stories/

Our patient Kaylee was back in Jacksonville for surgery recently, and we snapped some great new pics of her with the team. Here's what she shared:

"The selfie that Dr. Granzow and Carson took with me in the OR is quite literally my favorite thing on this planet! It may seem like a silly little moment, but to me it’s so much more than that. It truly captures the relationship I have with the people who have cared for me through this entire journey, which I value SO. MUCH. Even when they’re tackling all the hard stuff and literally getting into the trenches with my legs, they still make time for silly little selfies and things that make the journey fun. I absolutely love how it reflects trust and teamwork from people that truly care about the person behind the patient. It’s also a great way to show off how much cooler my doctors are than everyone else’s🤪🤣"

Kaylee, we truly appreciate your willingness to share your journey and experiences with our followers. See you here in a couple weeks when we share one of my all time favorite patient videos of you. How's that for a teaser?

Here's an important tip from Marcy, one of our Jacksonville CLTs.

Appointments with a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) can include many assessments, including measuring your fluid volume and using tools such as a Moisture Meter or Biometric Impedance devices such as the SOZO. The pitting assessment is important to determine how much fluid is being held in the tissues. It is important to reduce excess fluid to a minimum through Complete Decongestive Therapy and then keep it in a reduced state with proper fitting Made to Measure/ Custom garments.

Thanks Marcy - Your tips are always helpful to our followers. Keep 'em coming!

As many of you are aware, Dr. Granzow created the first comprehensive integrated lymphedema system, combining time-tested, conservative lymphedema therapy with the most advanced lymphedema surgery to produce consistent and life-changing patient outcomes. Those surgeries include Granzow Suction Assisted Protein Lipectomy (Granzow SAPL℠), lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT).

Here are the primary goals of the Granzow System℠:
+ Reduce the risk of dangerous infections such as cellulitis
+ Reduce arm and leg size/excess volume to normal
+ Improve mobility and function
+ Improve activities of daily living
+ Restore the ability to wear normal clothing or footwear
+ Feel better, restore confidence and psychological well-being
+ Restore intimacy and closeness with your partner and loved ones
+ Reduce the social stigma of lymphedema
