I guess along with the rain today my emotions decided to be weepy today as well. I woke up emotional and it never got better. Found out at my PT appointment hat my arm is slightly swollen, which means the lymphedema has begun. Everyone said it would happen given that all of my lymph nodes are gone. The good thing is it is mainly the upper part of my arm from elbow to shoulder. The bad thing is that now I have to get a custom sleeve made tot he tune of $150, which will not be covered by my insurance. Just when I think I am getting a little ahead something else hits.
I guess overall the simulation went well, was there about an hour, they took lots of starting x-rays and drew all over my chest, so I look like a toddler got a hold of me with a sharpie box.
I just wish I could get some sleep...I would say that is my biggest daily hurdle. So tomorrow the daily trips begin!
Thanks for checking on me.
