FYI . A few years ago stocked up on Lymp alert bracelets from The Lymphoedema Association of Victoria . They are still on thier website on the LAV Shop tab $1 each , min 5 + $6 postage. I always take one or two when i go for any day procedures. Some hospitals don't allow, another had them already, sometime they let me leave compression sleeve on also - so thats a bit of an alert for any nurse- but always worried will wake up with the BP cuff on my bad arm. been good so far. The blood drawer often look wishingly at my lymphie arm when she struggling to get a vein - but i say nope. It just to high a risk for infection and any tiny cut takes ages to heal.
i have also been told if i am worried the best thing is to actually write it on my arm in big writing- would just have to find the appropriate pen .
