                                            So I (Sara) went to the International Lymphedema Framework Conference in Niagara Falls, On , Canada.  35 countries were represented and it was amazing to hear all the research projects going on around the world.  I ran into one of my students from Taiwan, Una Tsai. I am so proud of what she has accomplished with this work!! 
The keynote speaker, Dr Wei Chen, talking about Alzheimers disease, lymphedema of the brain!!  (Watch for case studies using MLD, I am inspired!)
The conference was  followed by a teacher’s review with all the wonderful DVSI  Level 1, 2 & 3 technique teachers from North America (and one Irishman, Meadhe Sweeney!).   We meet in person wvery two years to make sure our hand skills and teaching techniques stay up to par.   (Our motto is Excellence In Our Hands!)
In between we saw the beautiful falls. Wow!  And a rainbow in blue skies.
