I had cancer in my right arm in 1990, then fell and broke my arm in 1999. I had to have a metal rod and screws permanently place in my arm. Needless for the last 14 years I have struggled with the use of my arm...and I am right handed. With the lack of muscle mass in my arm, the osteoporosis and arthritis I have in my shoulder sometimes it hurts and is difficult to use. Like right now it is hurting enough that I don't move it much. I can type for a while, but then the pain starts radiating down to my hand. This is something I have dealt with for years so I am use to it. But sometimes it is frustrating when I want to stamp or scrapbook. See when my arm is hurting if feels like I am holding a 100 weight in my hand. That is the only way I can explain it. It feel "heavy". I have difficulty moving it and it aches and hurts from the shoulder down to my elbow and like I said sometimes down through my hand.
Anyway...I just wanted you to know why there are times that there are long spans between postings. Like tonight I got a card done. But now my arm is hurting enough that I have decided to stop at one. I will post the card at the end of the week. So...I hope that explains my lack of posts when there are days or even a week in between posts and hope that you will still stop by and check out my cards and layouts when I do post.
Have a great night!

Sorry to hear about your arm! Hugs and best wishes,
I'm so sorry, my friend! I understand pain from arthritis all too well. I hope that you will have good days where you can do what you love. Until then, listen to your body. If you need to chat, let me know. Gentle hugs!!
