Ohh a cruise sounds so good Roz.. I have a friend with fibro that just went to dominica republic and she says her pain was gone the whole trip and that it returned aprx 1 hr before landing in western canada on the return trip.

The hospital misplaced the doplar ultrasound form aparently.. good thing it's not an emergency.. they scheduled me for late monday when I called today to see why they hadnt called with an apointment yesterday AM as they were suposto.

The lump is not as big as it was.. I think it enlarges or ingorges when I push up using my palm (pressure?) looks bruised too right after I do it.. the bruised look gets worse throughout the day, but it is smaller and almost normal colored in the AM.

So I am just trying not to use that arm much but using it as normal as possible at the same time so that the stiffness does not set in.

Take care and thank you all for your well wishes, I am starting to feel more myself again, I just need to keep my stress down as I feel it directly effects my heart as it's happenin.
