Hi Again!
I'm disappointed in my brother - that he's not excited about Abbie!! That's a big deal!! We're also very excited that you could go too, assuming that everything came out o.k.!!!
Anyway, we went to the Surgeon today so he could look at my armpit, or rather the lump in it. He doesn't feel that it's infection - he feels that it's the lymphatic fluid backing up and settling there, waiting for my body to absorb it. He gave me 2 choices - wait for my old body to absorb it, which could take a few weeks, or let him take a syring and he could draw it out. I opted for the first choice - I'm waiting. I've quite enough needles for a while. It isn't too painful, just feels like I have an orange in my armpit. Both of my incisions look good, with no sign of infection, so that's even better.
We went out for lunch and then to Wal*Mart for a few things, and by then, I was exhausted, so I came home and took a nap. Poor Sam, he's gimping around because he pushed me around in a wheelchair - thought a motorized one would have been better!!
This a.m., the phone rang about 8:45 and it was some co-workers - they had me on speaker phone and were just wondering how I was. That made my day! Then, when we got home this afternoon, there were some beautiful flowers waiting on the front porch - thank you so much, Steph, Sal, Robyn & Bill - they're beautiful! We love you all!!
Thank you everyone for your love, your support and your thoughtfulness. This journey has just begun for us, but with everyone's support, it will make it much easier for both Sam & I.
Love,
Karen & Sam

Hi - Glad all went well at the doctors today. I have tried calling a couple of times but keep getting some callwave recording so I don't know what the deal is. I will try again later.
Heather and I just completed our 2nd track meet tonight. We are excited to get the money to add to our MS fund! My total is at $816!!! Yeah I am half way to my minimum and getting closer to half of my goal! We are starting our weekly 7:30 am walks around Silver Lake. That will be fun as long as the weather cooperates!
Time to find something to eat!!
Luv, Stacy
P.S. I am very excited that Abbie goes potty like a big girl. BUT I am more excited that Uncle Kurt goes like a big boy!! BUT did he earn a STAR for the calendar?

Hello, Sounds like I better get in on this potty thing.
I will make sure Kurt gets a big "star", or clovers or something!!!
Good Boy!
Now for Abbey, " GOOD GIRL " to be 2 and doing so well is wonderful. I think she needs a package of stars.
My daughter hated diapers and like Krista she had them trained early.
It was good talking to you , and you hold on to your new buddy.
Kurt, does the survey mean I shouldn't drive anymore??? Ha! Ha!
