Steph,

I'm so sorry you are facing yet another challenge. Thank goodness you have caught it early, and thank you for bringing this subject up. I tend to be a little reckless sometimes and do some of the things that the other ladies have said you should never do. I knew you shouldn't take your BP on that arm, or get injections, IVs etc., but I never was told about not lifting heavy things. You wouldn't believe how much weight I lift with that arm sometimes! I stack large bales of hay and carry very heavy water buckets, and get far too many cuts and scrapes. Oh my gosh, I guess the good Lord really does watch out for fools!

I'm going to be much more careful. Love Kim

P.S. please do keep us posted on your progress.
