Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Dearest Debs: Thanks, I am very excited....I am sorry to hear things are still not going well in Florida land, although it sounds like you do need to get better ASAP....and congrats back at you my friend, and sounds like being a grandma might be in your future also? I can't give up on those shoes......it keeps me busy looking, and hoping that someday you WILL be able to wear them. I think of you often, and miss the old gang , and the cabana boy parties. I hope Carol answers you,I know she has been busy with her new business. Debs, what are they going to do? Is the knee a never, ever thing? Is there any plans? Did you decide to take any legal action? If you don't want to answer my nosy questions that's OK, I know you have been through hell....and did'nt even get the hand basket.....love you right back, and it is always great to see your addy......hugs Kathi in OK > Hi Kathi, > > Congratulations!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi Debs: Good to hear from you, but sorry about what you have been going through - AGAIN - will this never stop? You are such a trooper and so strong in spirit to have been able to go through all that you have for so long. Your PCP sounds like a jerk - can you dump him? I am glad that you are back out of the hospital -and send white healing light your way to speed your recovery. Please pass on best wishes to your daughter and her fiance - and, as always, big hugs and prayers are being sent your way, my friend.
