ME--back to my "normal level" of pain, but having the increase in the wrist (as I have been) now sinuses acting up a bit not sure if it is a cold, sinus infection or just a bad bout with my allergies.

Sounds like you have a lot of challenges but that you also have a great sense of optimism that everything will work out, I sure hope it will!

Love your cards, the Good Luck is so happy and the flower is cool looking, perfect for our Opus Gluei theme. That second card with the transparency is fantastic, love the effect.
