My mother (87) was diagnosed with lymphedema the first of Dec. (after 2 months of tests!) She was hospitalized for 5 days with cellulitus. We have had to learn on our own. We have no doctors or health care providers in our area that know very much about lymphedema. We have home health care coming to her home but we have to show them what we have learned from reading and the internet. We do have an appointment with Dr. Paula Stewart (Birmingham) the first of March. I know when we see Dr. Stewart we will get this information but I need it now. I've read and read and everything is a little bit different. Her leg is waayyyyy down so I must be doing something right. My question is where can I find pictures or video of how to wrap correctly and how to do the massage? I went to bandages plus but could not find pictures of wrapping.
thanks,
Suzanne
