Richard started going to have lymphatic massage, he said after the first visit that it was all a croc, and he was sore....but I pushed him to go twice a week every week and after a month admitted that he was starting to feel some benefit! (oh ye of little faith) The lady who does his lymphatic massage told us that she had to try and "encourage" the creation on the new drainage paths and steer them away from the shoulder/arm area as you have no "exit" for the fluids in your arm and could cause a build up.
All in all he is progressing slowly but the tiredness is still there....he can drop off to sleep in the middle of a sentence.....Does this ever go away / improve at all?
Many thanks
As always
Sam and Richard
