Dear Sally, Thank you for the good wishes. I am feeling better every
day. I am so glad that I went to Dr. Kruschinski. I believe he has
the answer. It is a miracle come true for me. I thought the rest of my
life was going to be lived in pain. I wasn't going to have ANY more
surgery. I read so many successes on the Board. I was given the gift
of hope from all who went before me. Karen reached out and made the
trip sound easy....and it was! The only exception is the flight from
California. It is very long! Thank you for your post! Love, Kathy At
