Hey Robyn and all the gang at TE!!

[Mr. Bloom]

Hey, you just made your goal...sorry it wasn't sooner...I needed Silver's permission

[sbctwin]

Wow, Karen, you have certainly had your health problems. Reading your post, however, I felt uplifted by your enthusiasm and strength. You are really an inspiration for all of us. Thank you for sharing.

Karen, thank you for being who you are. That is quite an amazing list of burdens to bear for any one person. I'm with the others here...you are going to have lasting influence on others...perhaps a lot of it that you will never know. You are a blessing! Thank you!!

[Jolt]

YIKES!!! Sounds like you've had a rough time lately, but you have a great attitude and that goes a long way. Keep it up!

Wow Karen - amazing. You are one tough cookie.

[Trekhawk]

Oh Karen that really is a tough time you have been having. You are always so strong it really is inspiring.
Keep posting updates so we know how you are getting on.

Karen, keep up the hard work. You have the drive and determination that helps you continue forward. You are an inspiration.

Don't know where Karen's been lately. I must not have seen this thread back in February.

Hope you're well, Miss Karen. My husband will probably have both hips replaced before he's 60 (he's 44). We did a little research, too. There's the new technology where they don't replace the whole head of the femur--that's good in case you have to have it again (yikes! a distinct possibility for my hubby), there's more bone left to work with.

I expect the technology will change quite a bit before he is in need, but this is one thing we've learned that I thought I'd share.

Everything everyone else said--ditto that! You are inspiring!

The Other Other Karen.

Karen: I don't know you but am inspired in reading about all that you have gone through yourself, and yet, here you are planning to walk to help others with MS. It takes lots of people like you to make this world a better place! Bless you and take care of yourself!

And thank you for your thoughts for Lore. The more support the better. So with that said if you need support don't forget we are here for you!
