Yesterday I visited my lymphedema therapist for the first time in about a month. Now that my skin has recovered from radiation, I can have my lymphatic massages again.
Tiffany said my breast looks 80 percent better. There is still some swelling and dimpling of the skin, so I'm not completely back to normal. However, she thinks that I should be in great shape in a few more weeks.
She taught me how to do manual lymphatic massage. She also gave me an exercise program to help stimulate the lymphatic system. The exercises are simple stretches that feel SO good!
Speaking of exercise, I am enjoying my exercising. It feels so good to have the strength to do things again. I am ever thankful to be healing well.
