the latest on my arm

Spoke to The Lymph Lady today - well, by text on the cellphone - and she advised me to sit tight with my arm. I told her it had been swelling and today is a week since my return from overseas, with its 10-hour flight from Paris to Joburg. My arm had been fine on the day of my return, when I had seen her, swollen in the middle of the upper arm when I saw her again on Tuesday, and been feeling awful ever since: slightly sore and definately swollen although it was been worse.

She told me not to wear a compression sleeve and that it could take a few days for it to settle down (post the flight).
