Amen, Margerie! Alice, I have no advice regarding lymphedema, but it seems like you've gotten some good advice from your sisters here. My take- if you really enjoy something, and still want to do it, take precautions and do it in moderation, and follow the before and after advice of the ladies here. Remember, it was doctors and scientists who declared that it was physically impossible for a human being to run a 4 minute mile, but Roger Bannister did it. I guess he didn't listen to his doctor. Neeedless to say, always consult your docs., but do your own homework, too, just like you are now. To give up something you enjoy because of possibly unfounded fears would be a shame. I'm just an idiot talking here, so don't jump in the hot tub yet, just keep researching and thinking.
