IT'S SLIPPER DAY !✨

Today we are supporting the Reach for a Dream fundraiser.

What is Slipper Day?
Once a year we can wear slippers to work to show our support to this foundation. They aim to "bring joy to children with life-threatening illnesses." 🌟

"These simple acts of kindness serve as a poignant reminder of the daily struggles faced by these brave children, many of whom spend their days in slippers while undergoing treatment. By purchasing a R20 Slipper Day sticker, you can help us turn their biggest dreams into realities, giving them precious moments of joy and hope when they need it the most."

Lympoedema🦵💪

Very few people know what lymphoedema is, yet so many struggle daily with this condition. 😫
Now what is lymphoedema?

It is abnormal, long-term swelling of any body part which is caused by the lymphatic build up. Therefore any dysfunction in the lymphatic system can lead to lymphoedema.
Primary lymphoedema means that it occurs on it's own , usually from birth. Secondary lymphoedema can be caused by another condition, damage (surgery, trauma, cancer, infection) or obstruction to the lymphatic system (vessels or nodes).

Fluid build up is observed in the tissue spaces and can lead to chronic inflammation and swelling. It can be observed in one or more limbs(arms/legs) and can involve the trunk, head, neck, breast and genitalia.

Even though it's not curable, it can be easily managed with therapy and early detections. 🤩
In therapy we make use of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). This aims to reduce swelling and prepare you to manage and maintain it yourself.
The following pictures briefly indicates what lymphoedema looks and feels like as well as what components we use in therapy (CDT) to assist with treating and managing lymphoedema.

If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms please feel free to reach out to a certified lymphoedema therapist. 🤝

A common question that we are asked is " how long will it take for my hand to heal?".
This chart provided is just a general indication. Therefore, each individual's timeline will differ and is discussed during the therapy session.

The large range of the time it takes for a tissue to heal , depends on various factors:

📌Type of tissue injured/repaired
📌Type of procedure performed
📌Lifestyle - diet, smoking, fitness, etc.
📌Adherence to the programme set in therapy
Etc.

There has always been the emphasis for us women to complete regular breast self-examination.
However, not many are shown how to perform these check-ups.
It is easy and quick to complete. All you need is a few minutes every month to check your breasts. ⏳

Here is a quick guide on how to do it in the comfort of your home. 🩷❤

If you find any irregularities or have concerns, please contact your healthcare provider.
