Scott....I am so sorry to hear this buddy. It was nice getting to meet her at the Winter Welcomer.
I will pray for her and the upcoming surgery.
Please keep us updated as to when it's coming up and then through the procedure.

Re: Kimberly (Scott's wife)
Posting this to remind everyone out there to keep Kimberly in your prayers, along with Scott and all her loved ones. Kimberly I pray every day that you find strength to face your surgery and find a healing from it. Hope you had wonderful holidays with your family. Waiting to hear good news for you. John

Thanks for all the encouragement.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: Kimberly (Scott's wife)
Been thinking of Scott and Kimberly today, if this is still the surgery date. I hope the surgery and recovery go very well for Kimberly.
Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?

Re: Kimberly (Scott's wife)
Thanks for the support. The surgery went well, but Kimberly is still asleep for a few more hours.

Re: Kimberly (Scott's wife)
There have been some difficult times, a lot of pain and challenges, but overall, things are going well.
Here is beautiful Kimberly, always with a good positive attitude just before being wheeled into surgery. She was still smiling and making faces and said she wasn't nervous at all (which is more than could be said for me):


Here is superhero Kimberly after the surgery (and still smiling and positive!):

She is looking better and better and beautiful as always. She is now officially Bionic Woman with a partially titanium heart.
Thanks for all the support!

Re: Kimberly (Scott's wife)

I think we could all learn a thing or two about gratefulness from her. Glad to see she is fine.
