ok, the nap is not really newsworthy .... but I don't want ya'll thinking I'm super woman. I certainly know that I'm not!
Started today by going to the lymphedema therapist. It was more of an educating session / and preventative measures I may be able to take in hopes of not getting lynphedema. Since nodes were taken during surgery, I am susceptible. She took all sorts of measurements of both arms and checked my range of motion. She deemed me a "very good healer" and said things looked / felt good; said I'm only missing about 15% of my flexibility. She explained a lot about the lymph system, what it does, how it works and how my surgery effects it. She showed me some simple massages to do, which should help the remaining nodes continue to function properly. The next time I go in, I'll be fitted for a compression sleeve. I will have to wear that when I fly from now on.
Sabrina met me there for the appointment, and afterwards we went to Einstein Bagel to chat. We definitely had some catching up to do and it was a great time!
From there I needed to go by the mall and then to order new contacts. After that it was grocery time - oh joy :)
Came home and put groceries away, spent a little time on the computer, then bang .... sleepiness hit me like a ton of bricks around 4. No reason to fight it, the couch was calling ..... so I slept for about an hour. Too many late nights this past week - but incredibly blessed by my girlfriends!
