Hi
I started this blog it seems a long time ago and thought I should update on what's happened since. My arm is great and very strong now have joined a Dragon Boat Team and this has helped with movement and strength plus a whole new social group so much fun. I also have a monthly lymphatic drainage I went initially for the slight swelling under my arm which has now completely gone and my scar which was very tight is now flat and smooth. I still go because I like it and she also does a mean foot massage. Have been on holiday to Thailand I wore my compression sleeve as directed and had no problems the flight was 8 hours, want to travel to Europe next year so we will have a stop on the way and on the way back so can allow my arm to recover. I still moisturise my arm and chest everyday and feel lucky that i have recovered so well.
Good luck to you all
