Marie Myers I can sympathize . Until last fall, I was a person who just visited their primary doc once a year to check that everything was still normal... Then, BAM! You have an aneurysm that needs fixing..You meet cardiologists, have scans, have surgery...all quite a shock...

Laura Jacobs Good grief! That is a high stack!

Bob Gillespie That's over my carry limit!

Sophia Ridley Cris! Loving all the anniversary posts, all fabulous inspiration! Thankyou! Also good to see you wearing your scar so well, I've been wondering what to do. I'm a newbie so taken to scarves as it heals. I'm thinking later that if it doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother others??
I wish you well with your continued recovery.

Elaine Foster Great to see your sweet smile Chris! So glad you are doing well. God Bless you and Merry Christmas

This awesome lady in the white hat has been an inspiration. So sad to have lost her to pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago. Any time I'm struggling I think of how strong Christy was.
