Sun Apr 7 22:31:37 2002


To Lillian and Millie, and those of you whom have replied to my first "new" message, thanks! I hope that you are both doing well, and please update me on your conditions. I remember you both, although I don't remember circumstances, as there are so many of us that have suffered over time. I hope to be hearing more from you. I am having a bladder suspension surgery sometime in the very near future, too near if you ask me. So with my prayer I know that all will be well. My gyn-surgeon here locally is very good. I just keep the faith, and pray. Love, Karen
