Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Jo, you cannot seem to catch a break, can you?? So I take it the shoulder is OK though??? I hope so, and I hope and pray they can figure out your wrist. I certainly hope it's not an aneurism! Please let us know how this all turns out when you can. REST first!!! Oh, I loved the laughing kitty also! Love Lana 0 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Jo -- I'm glad you had such a good visit with you doctor. He sounds like a truly special person. Hope your shoulder is doing better. Good luck with your wrist and I hope it isn't an aneurysm. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. By the way, how is that little king of the barnyard, Dario? Keeping all the other critters in line, I hope????? (LOL!!!!!!!)
