OT - SUPER bummed out . . .

So I get a call from my "hip" doctor today and was told I CAN NOT do the 3 Day walk . . . under no cir****tances . . .

So I AM doing the first segment of every day - and then helping around the camp or handing out food and drinks or whatever I can . . . and meanwhile helping with the training group I'm with down here being a pace car or a sweeper or whatever.  I am going .. . and I'll do whatever I can . . . I've raised my money . . . I've got all my ducks in a row . . . and I can be there to support everyone.

I was sitting here at my desk crying after that call . . . I know it's not the end of the world by a long shot . . . but its not what I was expecting at all.

OK . . .enough whiney stuff from me . . . and everyone have a great weekend!

On the UP side - I might get to see Lulu tonight . . . when I take my daughter to Temecula . . . that would be a great treat!

Chris

Hugs! I would be broken hearted too. Which walk will you be at?

I'm doing Seattle . . . notice I AM doing it!  Sept 11-13.

Awwwwwwwww, Chris. I m so sorry. I have been reading with great interest about you gettting ready for this. I am so sorry. You need to relax now and know that you did your VERY best for this, and you will continue to help out however you can.

Cindy

Thank you so much!

And I am STILL looking for pictures of people to put on my hat . . . anyone - friend, relative, kissing cousin . . . a neighbor's friend . . . I'm laminating them (because it rains in Seattle) . . . and want to have the hat covered!  :D

OH Chris,

What a bummer!  What did your Doc say was the problem?  Can you fix it?  You have worked so hard to this goal, will it maybe be an option for next year?  I am so sorry  (((((((Big Giant Hugs your way)))))))!  You go ahead and whine all you want even though that is not what you are doing, but if you feel like whining we are here for you.  THIS IS AN OK TO WHINE ZONE  Do me a big favor and Give LULU a giant hug when you see her.  I have not seen her since Disneyland and I miss her a bunch.  You girls have a great time.

I didn't get to see Lulu . . . she must have been busy . . . so the hat came back home with me again .  . . sorry!

I am so sorry to hear of your disappointment Chris! I, too, have been following your progress with great intrest.

At least you are able to do the first segment every day. Helping around is also a very important role. I know you will do well in Seattle. We can't change what has happened, but the way we accept it and move on, shows what we are made of.

You are one heck of a lady, and I know you will rebound. Take care of that hip. Huge hugs to you, my friend.

Hugs and Friendship Always,

Thanks everyone . . . the problem with the hipS is osteoarthritis . . .I'm rubbing bone on bone . . . and the meds help with the pain . . . but eventually I will need hip replacements on both sides . . . I thought I could still get away with this .  . but not so .  .

Thanks for all your caring!
Chris

Sorry to hear that, now I got another question if yo get the hips replaced does the price include a free tumm tuck and butt lift? If it does sign me up and maybe we can get the group rate?  Whatcha think?  You have come my way last so I owe you a trip down your way. I lvoe Temeula and I love Tom's Farm  Is that close to you in anyway?  I could always meet you there.  I love to just walk around in the antique shops in Temecula.  I can't next week but the week after looks good.Talk to you soon.
