Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to all of my BFAC friends. Since last time…. we moved off the MT, lost out TV, computer & our RV had a fight with a pole & the pole won. Then to top it off, we had a blow-out on the interstate, taking the RV to get it fixed. Lived in a parking lot for 7 weeks waiting for parts. Then had to move out while it got fixed (2 weeks). We got an apt. & never got to Fla & warm weather??? All of the above has in some way caused my FAT ARM (lymphedema) to go crazy! It has never been this bad or for this long. (hurts all the time, can’t bend it,getting much bigger,clothes won’t fit, & I can’t sleep!) My daughter looked up lymphedema & found a Dr. in Germany who can cure it in less than 6 months??? I guess I need to take a road trip to Germany! hahaha Good luck, we couldn’t even get out of VA.! Like many here, sleep is very hard to come by. Our thought run crazy. We cry, cuss, then cry some more. It is about then I think of my sweet Mama. She lived to see 82 & hurt for about the last 15 years of her life. Then I think of all of you on this site, who are going thru hell. It is then, I try to kick myself, but my ole leg won’t bend that good anymore. So here is when I say Happy New Year to all & to all a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP!
Thanks for your support - 
“I’m Back” should be our slogan of the day…hahaha. Missed you sweetpie. Sounds you had an adventure in and adventure. But…you kept on smiling between the #@%$& words. Next time you want a road trip come park in Texas. I love your laughter, and I am so sorry about your arm. My compassion for other’s pain is intense as I remember well having the doctor’s telling me it wasn’t that bad. Love you sweet lady, sharron
Sandy my sweet friend! It is soo good to see your post here when I look in! I’m sorry ya’ll didn’t make it to sunny Florida, but it’s freezing down there too right now. Now what the heck is going on with your arm? Have you had it checked out girl? This is something that I’m not familiar with but know it is a problem with many breast cancer survivors. Give me a call when you feel up to it and let me know the details.
Again…your post is like a great big breeze of fresh air here. I feel your positive vibes through this here old computer!
Oodles of love and hugs to you…stay warm.

Hi Sandy, Glad to see your post and I wish all the pain both you and your mom experienced wasn’t so. It saddens me to think of how you hurt and I hope you continue to tell us how your cancer and all of its impacts SUCKS BIG TIME. . . there are so many people suffering at different stages in this space both physically and emotionally that I can only imagine that this is a hell of sort and that all of us, on the other side of midnight, will only get to experience heaven.
You have such courage,—- just to deal with the pain each day and I admire your fortitude from a distance. Frank
