Happy Passover and Easter!!
AS we celebrate Passover and Easter in the Spring season, may we all be blessed with good health and happiness.

I'm having a seder here on Thursday night - 20 people - the first time in 4 years that I have been able to do it, as both DH and I were sick... feeling renewed and ready to tackle the gefilte fish today.

all the best
caya

Holidays
Happy Passover and Easter to all. Had Seder at my house on Wednesday and I am still recovering from all the preparing the house and all the cooking. This year it was more difficult for me because I am dealing with a torn rotator cuff. Been in surgery for a few weeks now and had an MRI last Friday. Hoping for total results this week and hoping to get an injection for some relief. At first we had to rule out lymphadema. I only had a few nodes removed so the chances were minimal. I went to my surgeon who referred me to the lymphadema clinic and they confirmed no signs of lymphadema. As the symptoms persisted and worsened it became more evident that it was my shoulder and most likely a tear in my rotator cuff. I have been extremely uncomfortable and limited in range of motion. Seems like it is always something. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.
