Hi WHORS. Please say a little prayer for us next week. Monday, the 4th, Drew and I are going to Minneapolis for my 3 year post-surgery, check-up (WOW! It's been 3 years!!). It's just an overnight trip. Obviously, we assume everything is fine(especially after running 3 marathons since surgery!), but it seems it's still necessary for me to get a cerebral angio-gram every couple of years, indefinitely. Other than finding a few screws loose, we expect the aneurysm to be stable...unless I knocked something out of place when Kim & Diane tripped me at mile one (tee hee)!!
Anyway, as much as I joke, it is still sobering to think of what could have been. Clearly, I have a guardian angel (my brother, Danny!!), and feel blessed, beyond anything I could describe.
The angios are never fun, and require a few days of recovery (both emotionally and physically), but I plan to be at the Red River Runners picnic with the kids in tow (Drew will be in D.C.) on Thursday.
Your prayers are welcome, comforting and very much appreciated!
Thank you, Friends!
Kathleen

Hope your testing goes well. You know the prayers are there :)
Your testing WILL go well...you're going to feel the support of all of us as you undergo the angiogram (and I know they're not fun). I'll even light a candle for you at church!!! peace my friend!
Dear Special K -
It is time you let everyone know truthfully that your race day strategy was run a mile,lay down a minute, run a mile, repeat. We will work on the transition from running to laying down over the summer! (tee hee!)
Of course you are in my prayers this week. I feel confident that your screw will remain loose(bad joke but said with good humor) and our dear Kathleen will be just fine!
Love ya!

We'll be prayin in West Fargo that all goes well. And if they find the screw loose, I want them to leave it that way!!! Can't wait to have you back on the road--just not horizontally again!!!
Take care, Kathleen---every good vibe I have will go out to you!!
Lord hear my prayer, Lord hear my prayer, Lord hear my prayer.....
Your angiogram will go fine. You will find peace of mind. Looking forward to MANY fun miles together Girl.......Please let us know how everything went....
LOVE YA speedbump!
Kathleen, I have full confidence that all will go well. We will all be thinking of you during over the next few days. We love you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you -plus that day is my birthday so it will be a great day with great results :)
I'll email you about a play date with parker-after things settle down for you!
Dear Special K/Speedbump:
Thoughts and prayers with you girl! Make sure they don't tighten that loose screw--we love you just the way you are :-). Tom and I will be praying. I'll share our theme verse, Romans 5:1-5, "Joy in our sufferings".
Love ya, Tracy/Pinky
Thanks for your nice notes. You're beautiful friends. All will be well. the next thing you know, PW & I will be doing blow job shots at the BBQ!! In the meantime, I'll worry and think about it constantly, because that's the way I'm made. I'll tell them to leave the screws alone.
Thanks & love to all,

Love, jane
Kathleen, we will be thinking of you and praying for you. God decided 3 years ago he needed you as an angel on earth. He knows you continue to be needed here:-)
Love ya - Sheri
I can relate to thinking and worrying about it (I'm the same way), but know that all of us are praying for you and keeping you in our thoughts. We'll see you at the picnic!
I'll add my good wishes to the rest. Congratulations on recieving a clean bill of health! How's that for positive thinking?? Take care, Kathleen, we're here pulling for you!
We'll be thinking and praying for you Kathleen and looking forward to the post-testing run with you to really celebrate!
