I am flying high right now! I just recieved a call from Dr. Lenkes nurse, and she made me an appt. for the 16th of May with Dr. Lenke. Isn't this great news! (I hope anyway).It's the consultation. I think that in my case he may be the one to help ME. Anyway, I just wanted you all to know. Got to go rest for a while as I tire easy. But I will be on here again. I want to thank everyone for being here for me!! Gentle Hugs to you all! Linda

Kathy, Even though we don't drive in too many populated places, we have a GPS tracker in our car that works well at times. Most of the time anyway. But it still gets nerve racking when you're not used to six lane traffic. But we'll survive somehow. (smiles) I may be in touch ~~~and thanks for your support.Linda Brozik~~60 yrs. old at time of Lenke's first surgery. 62 now!
