.....Things to Do!!!

Spent two weeks traveling around Peru (Lima, Cusco, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Iquitos and the Amazon) and had no issues with my LE.  I was surprised that I didn't have any swelling while at altitude (11k +) or while in the humid jungle.  In fact, my LE has never been better which seems weird.  I wore my compression sleeve during the day in the higher elevations but did not wear it while in the jungle.

I wonder if the change in my LE is due to all the walking, yoga, no typing for two weeks or no wine?  My thumb and hand look normal and feel normal.

    Omg, what a lucky lady you were seeing fab things and doing loads.

    I would love to do that, my arm is great at the moment and one more day of rads to go.

    I have started my hill walking again every night and no wine. My arm swells if I drink wine so I'm being good.



    Maybe you could post some photo's that would be great to see.
