  • Does anyone have an appointment with Dr. Lenke or Dr. Kelly in St. Louis?

    I have my 3 year check up on Friday, January 10, 2014. I have been fortunate to meet so many from the forum on my previous appointments. If anyone will be there, I'd love to meet you face to face.

    Thanks!

    I hope everyone has good health and happiness in the new year!

          Thanks, Kathy. You are so sweet to remember my surgery date. You were unbelievably helpful to me during my pre and post surgery months and I will forever be thankful. I hope you are continuing to do well.

              Congrats on three years! I find it amazing the connections that we make off this forum and the friendships that come from it all. There are quite a few that have been there for the last year and a half and I don't know how I would've made it without them. One second we are being mentored and the next second we get to give back and mentor someone else. Anyhow, congrats again!
