Dear Sweet Little Chrissy;

We certainly have missed you terribly since you have been gone. However, you are correct, there is power in prayer. I have prayed hard for you and thought of you all day during your surgery. It's wonderful to have such great doctors to take care of you. Oh and that hubby of yours, he sounds like a KEEPER all right, I am sure you agree. What a long a tedious surgery you had, you sound wonderful. I am always here for you and praying for a very speedy recovery. Maybe someday you can throw away your cane! I bet you don't look like any "OLD" lady either. Your picture tells a differnt story. Jean sounds like a wonderful person to come and visit you while enduring her own pain. She doesn't sound at all selfish. What a sweet thing to do, and Sally sending you beautiful flowers, that is awesome. Now why didn't I think of that?? It's great see your post again and will look forward to hearing from you again, more frequently. Just keep the body resting and take really good care of yourself.

Hugs, Get well, and Pain Free Days ahead to our "sweet pink Chrissy." Love in Good Health, Karen Carter
