Hi Olga,

Wishing you a wonderful time as you leave the West Coast for your trip! I am sure you will be fine and will have stories to share when you get back. Can't wait to hear how it went.

Hugs from your South Bay Sister!
Ines

    Update on NewFlower
    I spoke with NewFlower this evening. She is doing just dandy and is acclimating to the 3 hour difference. She is also being vigilant about keeping up with her exercises for her lymphedema. Hooray for NewFlower!

    Olga is a force of kindness, and strength -- I am so happy that she is coming into her own.

    I am back in LA
    Ines, Vicki & Victoria,
    Thank you for your good wishes. I am still little tired , however can report to you, my friend, I did very well. I was so nervous because:
    I was going by myself, I was not on the plane since my mastectomy and 20 nodes gone, I have never been in Detroit before.
    While ordered in advance my new compression sleeve and glove came in incorrect size and measurement, I have followed my therapist recommendations and have my arm and hand under control. I also gave myself a preventive shot from blood clots.
    We were working 10 hours a day I WAS ABLE to keep up with "NORMAL" people, most younger than me. Long road of treatment and recovery, right? Being as everybody else is a great accomplishment for me.
    Have a nice weekend

    I was thinking that you could enjoy it. Actually our "team" had two former college footfall players 28 and 50 years old. I was surprised that 50 years old former player complained about night sleep disruption (because of time-zone and also using Ambien as many of us - survivors. I also shared my sleeping pills (Melatonin) with some of my colleagues from California, and found out that majority of people 40years and older do not sleep well at night.
    Hugs
