Hi ladies,
I saw my lymphedema therapist yesterday and picked up an early Valentines gift - my new compression garment with half hand in built !
I also purchased an ESY-AS device to help with the garment - it is impossible to put on without it, even with assistance because of the half hand glove thingy.
I practiced a few times last night putting on the garment with my hubby - a bit like going to Ikea and getting a flat pack !
Then my 15 year old son assisted this morning before we went off to work/school - took about 10 minutes to get it right. Oh, well, practice makes perfect I guess.
My therapist also recommended the rubber gloves - cheap ones that I carry with me in my handbag just in case I need to adjust any wrinkles throughout the day.
I have not worn mine in the shower but tried to put my previous one on once whilst it was still slightly damp - bit of a trial and the silky undergarment split as the gauntlet was too tight !
Oh, the trials and tribulations.
