Donna,
I ended up calling my surgeon and going in to see her. She aspirated 70 cc's of lymph fluid! It feels so much better! She said sometimes that happens post surgery when your body is trying to figure out what to do with the lymph fluid. I hope it doesn't continue to happen. Of course, all the talk about lymphedema makes you nervous to start with.

I live in a suburb of Indianapolis (north, on highway 31). Nice to meet you too!
