Why does things always overwhelm me on the same day?? I tripped and fell on my compromised side... Also bumped my foot on the other side... My DD cleaned my wrist and forearm, put neosporin on and bandaged it.. I just have breast Lymphedema at this time... I have the emergency pages for step up, speak out.. Do I need to really hit the docs now or just watch things?.. Its been a bad week for me.. I don't need this..

    Gma, I'm so sorry about this alarming day.Frown Bless your DD -- good to have her handy!

    Take a few deep breaths, read through the symptoms to watch for on that "Emergencies" page, and then try to rest and relax, and give your body a chance to heal. As long as you're aware of what to watch for, you're fine.

    Other than that, it's the same old drill: stay well hydrated, elevate the arm as much as possible -- and chocolate, of course.Smile

    Wishing you a much happier tomorrow!
    Gentle hugs,
    Binney

    Thank you Binney - I  think I knew that but just needed someone to say something.... I can't move my toes very well at the moment and was told that I had to come to the fabric store and work - no replacements available tomorrow. They would plant me at the cash register on a stool.  Guess I better go elevate my arm and my foot... Undecided
