Marie, it is so sweet of you to check in on me, with all you have on your plate right now. I'm doing okay, continuing with the lymphatic drainage exercises which were demonstrated to me at the hospital clinic.
The swelling is still confined to my right hand, and it it is not too bad. If I can contain it to just the hand, I will be happy.
I really am trying not to do the repetitive arm chores like vacuuming and ironing... hey, I have orders from the lymphedema nurse 
Sending hugs to you and Ed.
all the best
caya
