Re: Changing My Signature - Now 3 Years NED!!
Laurel, how sweet of you to remember my "touch of lymphedema." It actually has been pretty well under control. I wear my sleeve and gauntlet when I fly, and of course I am extra careful now not to injure it.
I was seeing a lymphedema massage therapist throughout the summer, but since the fall I have been okay. I do some self-massage every couple of days. I've been lucky in that it has been contained to my right hand. If this is the worst that it gets, I'm thankful.
Happy Holidays to everyone.
all the best
caya
