Lymphedema can be a long – but manageable – fight

Worse, lymphedema can strike at any
time of life.

Hundreds of millions of people world-
wide are affected by this condition.

Yet, while the M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center calls lymphedema massage “one
of the vital aspects of helping to manage
lymphedema in home treatment,” those
massage services are simply not available
everywhere.

That’s probably why Linda Marshall
and Mary Bussey at Vero Beach’s Nurse
On Call offices are eager to talk about
what they can do to help those who
struggle with lymphedema’s impact.

Nurse On Call, or NOC, is a Medi-
care-certified home health agency with
deep roots here on the Treasure Coast.
It provides a wide variety of nursing ser-
vices and rehabilitation therapies in 47 of
Florida’s 67 counties.

Bussey, NOC’s home health director in
Vero Beach, points out, “This branch serves

Age, however, is less a factor than

that physical trauma is “a major cause of
lymphatic disease among our wounded

“In the treatment of lymphedema,”
Mitchell explains, “what we do is we try
to counteract what’s happened” by ap-
plying pressure to try to help the fluid get

But as Mitchell is quick to point out,

Canin that starred Judy Holliday,
premiered on Broadway in 1946,
and ran for 1,642 performances,
is opening at the Maltz Jupiter
Theatre this Sunday. Holliday’s
breakthrough performance as
Billy Dawn led to her being cast
in the 1950 film version, for
which she won an Oscar and a
Golden Globe for Best Actress
in a Musical or Comedy. “Born
Yesterday” is the story of Harry
Brock, a corrupt, hot-tempered
tycoon scheming to make a
name for himself in power-fo-
cused Washington, D.C. Feel-
ing held back by his bombshell
former showgirl girlfriend Billy
Dawn, who doesn’t fit into Wash-
ington’s highbrow social scene,
Harry enlists some of his nefar-
ious pals to help him turn her
into a cultured socialite. In clas-
sic screwball comedy fashion,
Harry’s plans go south, as Billie
shows she’s got lot more than
fluff behind her blonde bomb-
shell exterior. “Born Yesterday”
runs through Nov. 12.

Which approach is better for South in this two-spade contract after West leads the 9752

Dealer: East; Vulnerable: East-West
Unusually, the auction looks perfect! Yes, East is stronger than he might have been, but
to double two spades would have been dangerous. Here, it would have left West the The Bidding:

the ace, a diamond ruff, the club king, a club ruff and a fourth diamond, which promoted
another trump trick for down two.

With winners outside spades and reasonably strong trumps, South should have played
on spades. After three rounds, he could have attacked clubs and eventually lost only
two spades, one heart and two clubs.

Larson said that there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
