Hi all... I posted this info on Karen's thread, but thought I'd post it here too, to make sure everyone sees it... I just received a phone call from Karen's sister, Twist... Karen had asked her to call and have me pass on the good news that Karen made it through the surgery just fine... Everything went well and Karen is resting. ![]() We weren't able to talk for long, so I don't have any more details at this point... but once again?... thanks to the love and support of all of you who have kept vigil, the power of the prayer circle is realized... Thank you, Karen, and Twist, for getting word to us... ya know I love ya both, my sistas... ![]() ![]() ![]() "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." --Jimi Hendrix [This message has been edited by vlraynes (08-15-2008 07:35 PM).] |

Now all of the Serene One's family and friends can breathe a bit easier now! ~ and when she's fully recovered emotionally and physically, we will all breathe a lot easier! I suppose we'll have to wait a bit longer regarding her mental status! lol Love and healing hugs to Karen ~ and keep some for yourself, as well, Miss Vickie! ![]() Linda |

Karen sits gingerly at the keyboard. ![]() ![]() "Owwwwwwwwwwww"....I hurted myself wif that one! ![]() Oh, wow-ow-ow. *chuckle* I go waddle some more before I get stuck here--'cause I want ya'll to know that having the position of the computer desk chair surgically removed from your muscular- skeletal system is a tad painful. Prayers for Florida, too! *waddle- waddle* wonk "oooops"! ![]() |

Thank you, Doctor, for leaving Karen's humor unaffected. Good to see you posting. I'm too closely relating to the, "ow-ow waddle" movements these days since hurting my back 2 weeks ago. I'll think of you each time I yell, Karen. Love and healing to you. Rae |

Oh, Karen! I didn't realise it was the 15th and I missed sending you a message! I am so sorry. However, I am so very relieved that all went well. Now, don't you overdo the waddling, and DO rest, rest, rest and rest some more! When you feel the need to exercise, rather just exercise your sense of humour and your brain. - Owl |

Sheesh! there's your problem right away. They had you in post op and they removed a lounge chair. I'd want my money back. Post op... Why do these things always have to happen to Serenity? She starts out for a perfectly normal day, and they end up removing a post for no good reason.. . . Didn't you have some sort of GYN problem they were going to address?. . . What were these people thinking? Do they still have doctors in New Orleans, anyway? Don't they have Offices for these sorts of things? Mumble, mumble, Republicans. . . post. . . mumble mumble Offices. Why do these things have to happen to Serenity? Get well quickly, Ms. Serenity. I need to retire to my bathroom and try to figure this mystery out. Mumble mumble Offices...Doctors... Lounge Chairs... Love, Bob K. |

This is...whew! The whole night was like trying to sleep on a Tilt-A-Whirl. In July. In Arizona. I'm earning my name, folks! ![]() |

Karen, I'm so happy to learn you're coming along well and free from that nasty "C" word. Everytime I see or hear about Gustav, I think of you and pray you'll all be safe. Katrina was enough for a lifetime. You don't need any reminders. Love and hugs, Rae |
