Snap, Crackle, and Pop

Got myself a regular physical therapy schedule. Nancy is my therapist and has me working on quelling the twitching and numbness of my "surgical arm" and my armpit and my right breast. I can almost straighten out at the elbow and perhaps I'll be able to put my arm by my side soon. At present I look like I am bulking up on the right. I need to develop a swagger while walking to make the look complete. Nancy was mentioning the popping as she massages the right arm and asks if I can feel it. Nope. She explains the lymph vessels are popping while she works out the kinks. She points out the dimpling in a multiple places on the arm and tells me these are the areas of contracted vessels. Phew! Could have been mistaken for the old lady flab signs...
