Update # 4 - 1/6

Hi & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
(If you are new to this blog, please start at the bottom :-)

Updates:

1)Ankle - My Orthopedic at the UW said I need to rest and wear an air cast for a couple months and not run or play soccer while it heals, and at this point, there is no need for surgery. Yahoo! I think I can do what he asks! Then come to find out, my college roomate was his first girlfriend back when they were in middle school....what a coincidence!

2)Melanoma - I have an ultrasound scheduled for 1/7, a dermatologist appt. to map all my freckles/moles on 1/9 and then surgery 1/12 @ UW Medical Center - Surgery Pavillion, I will be staying overnight and when all goes well, released on 1/13.

Along with Doug and the girls, my mom Glenda will be helping me post-surgery, & my neighbor, April Perla, is helping coordinate all the food that has been so kindly offered to be made for my family post-surgery. (P.S. Kourtney would prefer if there were no strange casseroles, thanks!-KRK) Doug will manage the girls sports schedules so Kourtney & Alexa will be well taken care of during this time. Thank you all very much!

Thanks again for all your well wishes, prayers and comments! They are all appreciated! Until next week!

    Keri, the Canadian Olympic hat you gave me has always been a very favorite of mind. I've always worn it with great pride knowing it came from you. Wishing you the best next Monday and will see you soon. Love Leslie

    Hey Keri,

    Best wishes from Barrie. I heard the news just before Christmas and have not been able to contact you yet to let you know that I am thinking of you and sending prayers your way. Please, if there is anything I can do, let me know. I am here for you and your family.

    Take care of yourself. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met. Good luck tomorrow.

    Love you lots,

    Christi

    Hello my dear friend,
    I heard the news today and it knocked the wind out of me. I truly believe that if there is a person that can beat this, it will be you. You have never lost at one thing you have started and this won't be any different. If there is anything you need, just call. Love you so....Lori

    Keri my friend. Am thinking of you today and so glad you have such wonderful doctors. Thank you for the blog. I know how much you are loved and it is so nice to see others thoughts as well. I am here for anything you need - I'll even sell cookies and wrapping paper for the girls if you want me too! Hope you are feeling good soon.

    Hey Baby,
    Oldest friend in the world here,
    Literally...
    Don't know if you remember : ) but we first met when you were one-day old. I remember it like it was yesterday. You were smaller than me, and pink.
    We're thinking about you every day. You're in good hands, and we look forward to seeing you soon and hearing that you are doing AWESOME!
    And speaking of AWESOME, let's catch a Husky game this Fall!
