Pam, thank you and all others for their kind words during my husband's recovery, and my recovery. In response to your comment and despite what your other clients have said, you can have water retention issues that aren't relate to lymphedema and you can contract cellulitus without having lymphedema. My sister had it in her finger last week. She doesn't have lymphedema but like me she has the veinous insufficiency in her legs and has frequent bouts with cellulitus in her legs as well.

Now thankfully I will be working towards better health, and as in other conditions that never really go away I will need to work to maintain on a daily basis. I hope to begin SS very soon.
