Ladies, it's time once again to enter your favorite O-LYMPH-ICS competition! What are y'all planning to participate in?

After years of dedication and practice, I'm hoping for a GOLD in "Timed Bilateral Arm Wrapping", a SILVER in "Donning a Compression Sleeve Without Whapping Yourself in the Jaw," and maybe a BRONZE in "Answering Dumb Questions by the Public." Of course there's always "Insurance Coverage Haggling," but that's definitely not my specialty.

Anybody else?

Go BC.ORG!

    Haha! Good ones :). How about bandage rolling (how quick are you - no wall mounted rollers allowed, with extra points for finger wraps ;), shapewear escape (how fast can you shimmy outa that thing - difficulty points if you're hot and sweaty), and (a marathon style-event) consecutive days carrying bandaids and bacitracin just in case, all while trying to keep the weight of your purse as light as possible.

    I don't do Bilateral Arm Wrapping or Insurance Coverage Haggling as don't do either. (Not bilateral and VA gets me 2 sets of day garments every 6 months). So that leaves 'Donning sleeve without whapping self' - can't remember whapping myself and 'Answering Dumb Questions by the Public'. Last Saturday, I went on a bus trip with Church and there were a lot of really DUMB questions asked asked over and over again. Actually, it was the men and younger women who asked the most intelligent questions and paid attention. The mid to older women were 'out there'.

    Mine is truncal & breast, so people really don't understand why I won't participate in some of the poses in Yoga. Down Dog? Not really. Why not? I know we should be proactive & educate people who don't understand, but it does get tiring.
