to wear or not to wear that damn sleeve

The Yoga Man thinks I have adult asthma. It's much worse than the childhood one, he says, which just goes away.
Don't you think you're being a bit dramatic, I ask. It's just flu, only been a week.... I mumble.
Exactly, he says. Dramatic. That fits you.
Bloody hell.....
Anyway, the fact is I am still sick. Would normally not give a damn. Yes my chest feels tight, yes my voice is not that great (it sounds gravelly) but I mostly feel fine.
The trouble is that I cannot do lymph massage when I am sick. And the days are passing and I am not getting better.
Is this tight chest caused from Herceptin, I wonder. Or am I just being neurotic. (Only last night read Joanna's blog, Life has its ups and downs  which referred to how, once you're had cancer, every little niggly pain becomes a major calamity.)
But my arm is not feeling great. So do I wear the sleeve? Wear it, says The Yoga Man, who doesn't think the sleeve is a big deal at all. Not sure I have the courage. It fills me with despair. Will see how I feel tomorrow. Just pulled up the sleeve of my t-shirt and looked at my arm. It looked fine to me. Will decide tomorrow. Maybe I will stay home tomorrow - again - (did so one day last week too) in an attempt to shake off this lurgy once and for all - for the sake of my arm and my anxiety re lymphedema.

Readers in Slovenia

According to the stats on blogger (incidentally the stat counter on the blog, the one that sends me weekly updates, doesn't work), but anyway, the one which is on blogger, shows that the most readers of this blog are in the United States, then South Africa - where I live - and then Slovenia. How did that happen? So if you reading me and are in Slovenia, please tell me how you chanced upon my blog. So curious. Don't know anyone there. And it really is far from here.
Anyway, wanted to write about my elbow. My inner elbow. It's sore. If I touch it, it feels bruised.This kind of thing often happens but when I mention it to The Lymph Lady (often parts of my arm,like my inner elbow, hurt when she massages me), she seems unconcerned. But it must be from the lymph.
Anyone out there who has lymphedema or who is bordeline/high-risk lymphedema also experience such things? Hardly a calamity. But again, I am curious.......
