If you have the time, tolerance, and vigor to explain lymphedema, then we suggest you do so. Educating others on lymphedema is important. We need to raise awareness and increase attention! However, if you are not in the mood, which we understand happens after one too many interrogations, here are a few statements, short and sweet (and humorous for you,) to get you out of that situation real quick:
“Trapeze accident”
“Just saved a dog from a burning building. Got a little scratched up.”
“Climbed Mount Everest and got stung by a rare bee, which caused my arm to swell.”
“Gym accident”
“Bad case of tennis elbow.”
“I’m glad you asked, this is my fake arm. A shark ate my real one while I was surfing in Hawaii. The fingers look so real, don’t they?”
“I am a professional air guitar player. I had a rough practice last night.”
“Newfound addiction to archery”
