So we're back to the drawing board. I am now being treated for lymphedema. Big boo. I am also being sort of treated for tendonitis. It's a combination between the two. I am now sporting a compression sleeve and glove with fingers. I got it on Wednesday and have been wearing it during the day. I went to the Transitions "store" at Providence Portland. The lady there was so nice. She even threw in a purple tie dye sleeve "on the house." I need to wear the sleeve all day long until I go on vacation. Then she said that I could wear it whenever I need it. Of course I will wear it on the plane. Hopefully it will do the trick.
Today at Physical Therapy I told my therapist that my hand looks even more swollen. She said the fluid is pooling in my hand and the glove may be loose. So now I have a piece of foam inside it. It feels better. I feel like the fluid can now move out of my fingers and out of my hand. We shall see. I have another appointment on Monday and then a follow up on Tuesday when I get back.
The worst part of the glove - washing your hands in the bathroom after going pee. Most inconvenient. Ah the littlest and stupidest things.
Oh and did I mention that I don't have an appointment with the gynoc until April 17! They only schedule these types of appointments once a month. Of course the once this month happens when I am on vacation. Oh well, I guess I'll schedule my surgery in later April early May.
