Well, recently I have had bigger "Guns" unfortunately they are soft and squishy. Let us go back on a journey through time. The year was 2005, I had many surgeries, the doctor took some lymph nodes from me. He said they were cancer free, but that they were keeping them anyway. There was no talk of hey in 5 years your cancer might come back inside you not on the outside where your skin is. Nor was there any talk of maybe 7 years down the road your right side where we took the lymph nodes from will swell and cause you grief.
And we're back. I have been told that I have lymphedema, which is short for your lymphatic swells up and makes your arm swell and joints hurt.
So the best way I have found to help with the swelling, is to drink liquor and chase wild women. Ok that one was for my Dad. But getting a massage that makes me want to pee my pants works pretty good on keeping the swelling down.
I recently (today) found that if I wear one of those under armor type work out shirts that are tight and go clear to the wrist, I don't have hardly any swelling at all.
But in the summer it gets pretty warm. And the only color I have makes me look like I am wearing a superman costume under my shirt. Its bright blue and kinda shiny.
Well enough of that, Work is good, school is good for Peggy, and the kids are pains in the Butt most of the time, but weren't we all.
Except for me, I was a perfect child, just ask my mom, she will tell you. (She is kinda senile so she might get me confused with my troublesome brothers.) (love you mom!)
Merry Christmas and Have a lovely day.
