Hi Deb. I thought it might be something like that - doing what you 
love doesn't bring in enough income, so you have to supplement w/a 
part time job...a lot of people have that situation. I have a 
question for you, since you're a professional: is it true that you 
have to hold a stretch for at least 15 seconds for it to have any 
effect? I think I read that somewhere.

Left arm is SLOWLY but surely getting better. It's definitely less 
stiff & sore today. Now I just wish the !@#$% swelling would go 
away. I had ice on it for at least an hour last night. How long is 
too long for icing?
