Keep Climbing

Yesterday Cathy visited the doctor to review the MRI of her jaw.  The doctor thinks her jaw problem can be fixed by cutting a muscle.  This can be done through her mouth via outpatient surgery.  She will have to work hard to regain full use of her jaw but it is possible!  She is so thankful that this can be done.  Tomorrow she will visit the opthomologist to evaluate her right eye.  It is difficult for Cathy to see properly without the use of that eye so hopefully the doctors will come up with a good plan to improve her sight. 
I am so proud of how brave Cathy has been through all the ups and downs.  She is getting out in the world and is looking forward to buying some cute hats to wear.  She has looked beyond her own recovery and ventured out to visit her friend who had surgery.
One of Cathy's goals is to get back to work by January.  I am sure she can do it.  Cathy, keep climbing, we are all there to cheer you on!  Love, Linda

Cathy you looked wonderful when you visited me!
I am honored that I was the 1st "to do" on your list.
Although it's another surgery, I'm so glad to know there's an option to help your jaw. I know how much that will mean to you and to your tummy. (w)
You looked precious in a hat, and I hope you will have fun looking for more. If anything, it's a reason to get out of the house and shop. (lol)
What I pray for you is that you'll soon feel in your heart, that it's true when I say, You also look precious without a hat. xo
