Hi All-

I've been very lucky so far, but I need some advice, please. 11 years ago, I developed hand/arm lymphedema 10 months after cancer treatment. I was already in PT for something else, so I was treated early and aggressively; I literally started treatment the day after the lymphedema flared. However, my problem area is/has always been the webbing between my fingers. It doesn't seem like even a Flexi gets that spot well.

I'm thinking that I need to change garments. I had tried a lot of brands early on, but settled on Lymphedivas, because I wanted something that looked non-medical. I used them for years, but the last time I saw my current OT, she told me to switch to Juzo, because it's stronger. But it doesn't feel like or look like they are strong enough in the webbing, either. I've tried taping and then putting on a glove, but it gets annoying because the glove pulls the tape up. Does anybody have a favorite brand of gloves that does well with fingers/webbing? I know I need something different, but I don't want to spend money blindly. Thanks for reading this far!

Hi!
I may be getting a staff job offer at VT. The kicker is that I may not know for another week or two; however, the proposed start date is July 15 or August 1, which doesn't give me a lot of time to find a studio or 1-bedroom apartment. I need something close to public transit, because I don't drive. Due to student leases, I'm not finding openings that are reasonably priced starting then. Does anyone have ideas? Thanks!
