My journey
One year since last round of surgery. Never thought I'd feel good again, but slowly and surely I feel well again. The adjustment second time around has been jsut as difficult in a very different way....

Well, that turned out to be a surprise. I had cording early on and thought once it went that would be it. Wrong. It can come back. I had the flu shot on my good (least affected) arm. Well that was Tuesday by Friday I couldn't touch the arm, the pain was intense. Did I get a shock!! SO it was Saturday and the weekend what was I going to do??, so I went and got a compression garment from a sport shop to get me through the weekend. Then tried to get a physio appointment. Good physios are booked out, so had to wait!! but now I have a sleeve to protect the arm and hopefully I'll get better at picking the signs. Off to physio for a few weeks and it should get back to normal. The arm doesn't swell really, it just gets these intense pain, how odd. I don't think people talk much about this and lymphatic massage is the key to keeping it under control. This is certainly a journey and I'm still learning. Keep well all, and pray for each survivor, I do!!
