Hi Chester,

         Sorry - can you access Washinton Post and look for jobs there? If
you let me know what you are looking for - and send a resume - I can  help
look around. Jobs are tough to find!! I was unemployeed for two years after
I was laid from Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

>Can't they put a hip brace on Amber?  I know it may be

     I am checking on that - but the bone is already protuding and damaging
the socket.  If nothing is done - in a few years - 5-6 the whole hip will
have to be replaced.


>I've also heard the surgery doesn't always work, or it
>works for a while and then the same thing happens again, which >means the
same surgery over and over again.

        This is a major concern of mine and the reason - it may look like I
am dragging my feet. I am getting flack - that I haven't had the surgery
done yet!!  Amber has even ask - if she never ran again - could that mean no
surgery. I said, no baby - oh, good becasue I really love running and she
does - I chase her thru woods, and the neighborhood!! Of course now she is
as fast as me - since we are the same size!!


>Tell her I wish her well.
        Sure!!

> If she had

>young lady to talk to.

             She has an e-mail address - [log in to unmask]    and we
share the BeAWitchy1  - AOL IM  thingy  - she and her friends use it
mostly - I use Yahoo IM.
