Hi Susan and Audrey
I have terribly lymphedema in my legs and now also have LE in both arms, ab and back that we suspect was brought on by lymphoma. I still continue to work a full time job. For me it is simple economic reality. I just can not afford to live on what they give you on SS disability. But Audrey was right on about perhaps taking a temporary leave. Sometimes you really do need to consider that option to help your body heal. Also, good choice Audrey, the Flexitouch is the first compression unit I have ever seen that I can actually get excited about. I did a product review and test run with leg lymph...and was totally impressed. Here are a couple links with info pages I did.
