I had a great lymphedema day today. My rating is 1 out of 10. Maybe even .5 if I was cutting the scale even further. I didn't wear any gloves or finger sleeves or wraps of any kind today. I wore the glove last night but took it off upon getting out of bed and left it off all day. I only have the slightest of swelling, barely noticeable, in the back of my hand - between the knuckles and throughout the outside pad of my hand.
I wonder if the lack of swelling has to do with lack of work, heat, and exercise today. Jason and I came home from camping because he wasn't feeling well last night. So I was home all day and didn't go out in the heat and humidity. I didn't do much around here, either other than dealing with the dishes and making meals. I did some work on the computer, got my emails down to a manageable list, and read a part of a mystery book.
In the late afternoon it rained, so I took Ken's new lawn chair lounger (we got it for him for Father's Day) into the garage and kicked back with a book while experiencing the rain and lightening. And it was good.
