Ooops, me bad... I just realized I left out 2 people who have been an important part of my treatment. They are Sue, my lymphatic therapist and Chris, my physical therapist.
Sue digilently reminds me of the importance of maintenaing (spell?) the sleeve/bandage and massage on a DAILY basis. She doesn't beat around the bush with me, just very straight-forward about the risks of lymphedema.
Chris has an excellent cheerleader personality. She makes PT more fun than it really is. I hate PT myself, but I look forward to Chris' appts.
