Lymphedema Update

I also went to my follow-up today. The therapist measured my arm again and the swelling has gone down a bit. She's very glad to see this. It means I am 'responding well' to compression.

I am now wearing a more permanent sleeve, made out of that heavy-duty panty hose one sees advertised in coupon additions to the newspaper.

Overall, I'm very hopeful, too, that this lymphedema will reverse. I have plenty more to tell you about, and I know you're all dying to know how one "drains" one's own arm. All in due time.
