Hello to all,
I'll be getting a compression sleeve next week, then fly out to Mexico with hubby on vacation. It will be my first flight ever since surgery. 18 nodes were removed, so I was told that my risk of developing lymphedema was a little more risky than most.
We'll be flying on a red-eye. I understand that we're encouraged to drink lots of fluids and keep moving during flight. I'm no night owl at all! I even fall asleep during movies, haha. Well, I hope I won't have to approach anything related to lymphedema on vacation!
IF you did get lymphedema, what was your experiences and what did you learn from it?
Any helpful input?? Many thanks! Hugs :-)
