Rogene, we are all praying that this will make you better. I am so sorry that you must go through this surgery, but if it will make you well that is all that matters.

My leg is getting worse, and I am spending most of my day with my leg propped up. My doctor should have more results from the 6 x-rays that were done on Saturday. I really think that it might be a ruptured cyst, or a slipped disk in my back....wonders us.

Sending love and health to you............Lea

Lea,Surely someone has checked your x-rays by now! . . . Unbelievable! . . . Does it normally take this long to get a diagnostician to check them?I know you're ready for that leg to get well!I had a great massage this evening! . . . I'm ready to go now!Rogene
