Caregiver's Guide is the first book to provide detailed instructions for caregivers on all aspects of lymphedema (or lymphoedema) home care including physical care (skin care, simple lymph drainage, compression, exercise, etc.), communications skills and emotional support, and activities of daily living. Caregivers will also learn ways to protect themselves from injury and burnout. Caregiver's Guide outlines a systematic approach to determining the patient's care needs, arranging care, and coordinating multiple caregivers. Trained lymphedema caregivers are in short supply now and we face a 'care gap' in the near future as the number of people needing care increases while the pool of potential family caregivers shrinks. This book is an important first step in the process of providing trained caregivers. This book will help: * People with lymphedema and their families and friends understand what care is required, locate caregivers and other resources, and navigate the reimbursement maze. This book also covers coordinating multiple caregivers, preparing the home for care, and many other practical topics. * Caregivers understand lymphedema, their role in lymphedema care, specific skills for providing physical care and emotional support, and how to manage equipment and supplies for home care. They will also learn ways to protect themselves from physical injury and emotional burnout as caregivers. * Lymphedema therapists work more effectively with their patients and the patient's caregivers. * Home care planners and administrators understand lymphedema and the special requirements of lymphedema home care. About the authors: * Mary Kathleen Kearse, PT, CLT-LANA, has worked full time with lymphedema patients for nine years and practiced physical therapy for 24 years. * Elizabeth McMahon, PhD is a clinical psychologist and co-author of Living Well with Lymphedema, author of Overcoming the Emotional Challenges of Lymphedema, and co-editor of Voices of Lymphedema. * Ann Ehrlich, MA is a professional medical writer, co-author of Living Well with Lymphedema, and co-editor of Voices of Lymphedema.

Very Thin but NICE
This polo shirt is much thinner than expected. While the blue color is vibrant, it’s best worn with a layer underneath, such as a mock turtleneck. I recommend ordering a size up, as the viscose fabric tends to shrink more than cotton. For care, hand wash or place it in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle. Despite these considerations, the shirt is attractive and practical when properly cared for, and I may purchase another in a different color.

Comfortable and Durable Shirt for the Fall and Winter!
What You Need To Know: - Very Comfortable - Love The Way The Shirt Fits - No Fading from Washing (Warm) - No Shrinkage Drying (Delicate) I'm 6'3" with a long torso. Most of my height is from the waste up. For that reason, I usually only order XLT shirts. I need the extra length of the Tall shirts otherwise, the shirt is typically too short. The shirt was not offered in the XLT size so I decided to order the shirt in the XL size. This is one of the few XL sized shirts I've found that actually fits me! You'll see in the picture that it easily falls below my waist. In addition, I've washed and dried the shirt multiple times and it's held up well. I love the fact that the shirt is a pullover with a zipper instead of buttons. This shirt will definitely be in my rotation for those cool Fall days and all of Winter.

Truly a SLIM fit
This is DEFINITELY a slim fit. It is true to size but expect it to be fitted pretty tightly on your arms and chest. The material is some kind of stretchy woven knit but thin so good for wearing out and not sweating but because of the slim fit, the tighter arms, I would never risk a golf swing in this for fear of hulking out of the seams. The color is a very nice light blue, true to the pictures and the style is great for someone ok with showing off their body. Overall, a good fall shirt for an affordable price.
