I had some swelling that occurred on my way home after the follow up. After my follow up. Wade recommended that i take off the sleeve when going through security at the airport. Everything was looking good up until that point. When i got through security(2hrs) i was all swole up. It was very painful to attempt putting on the sleeve. I got on the plane and flew only an hour then drove for another 2hrs and was able to place the sleeve back on after some of that swelling had gone down. I was only able to wear it about an hour at a time as the swelling would come back. As long as i kept an eye on it i was able to manage the swelling. this is only my experience and I know that i usually swell up based on previous injuries.

Oh to your first post - the silicone sleeve can help with retraction but it is not as strong as an extender...so you can retract within the sleeve. Also, for some reason mine slipped half way down on the plane - maybe the way I was sitting...? Adjusting it in the plane bathroom was not fun...but just bring instant hand sanitizer... Actually, they give you a tube of it. If you don't retract as strongly as I do, you should be fine in the sleeve. I woke up with the sleeve fully on & fine many mornings...and then one morning I was like 1/2 way down the sleeve...but you can use it with the ESL 40 that they have there.
I went through the Millimeter Wave machine with the sleeve on, but I didn't go through with any extenders. I had them in my bag and they did not get flagged this time - though a few years ago the metal rods apparently caused a red flag for a TSA agent and they had to "make sure they weren't sharp" - but they never asked me what it was (I think they realized).

We had the same exact room! You're in a king in the corner, right? Do you have the golf course view too? If we had the same exact room, that would be kinda funny.
Are you not bleeding at all? How many entry points do you have?
