Lymphedema management


Still meeting with my Occupational Therapist to try to get my swelling down.  She continues to instruct me about Manual Lymph Drainage.  It is taking awhile for me to learn it.  One of the things that could help is to have John wrap my arm with ace bandages every night.  Wear my compression arm band during the day and wrap at night.  Sometimes, all that I need to do to manage my health/body feels overwhelming.  Exercise, drink tons of water, MLD, eat right.  I hope that my "new normal" post cancer will one day feel....normal.
