@fiesty76 -- one other suggetion, Fiesty, for your friend. She needs to be very careful about getting scratches or scrapes on her affected side. When I do my gardening or if I know I'll be hiking in a brushy area, I wear a long arm protection sleeve made with Kevlar. She may also find them at a gardening shop. Even something simple as a bug bite/mosquito bite can cause a person sensitive to lymphedema problems. So since she has already had cellulitis, best to err on the side of caution -- not to be constantly afraid of hit happening, but being vigilant. All the best.

Thank you Trixie. Before getting a call from friend's hubby Saturday morning asking me to come over, I printed out the great member responses and my replies to them up to that point. I'm not sure now which responses I've replied to and hope everyone posting will understand how much I appreciate each person's response. Will post an update of Saturday. Hugs!
