Karen, glad to hear you have your date scheduled, and you had a good vacation. I spoke to you a couple months ago, was concerned about my ulcerative colitis. You gave me the ambition, and courage to continue on my quest anyhow. Well, I want to thank you, and also let you know that I did have my surgery 7-16-01 and I had the procedure I wanted with a doctor locally. You gave me the faith to pursue what some had told me would not happen, and I am very grateful. Doing good after my surgery. I will pray for you and family in the weeks to come. Let me know if I can do anything. Lisa Robinson
