I would love to help in any way that you need me.
I love to write and what a great cause and legacy to leave for all of us, and Kelly would feel like we finished the work she so desperately wanted to do, even on her death bed I hear she was still trying to help others realize what we go through and those who are afflicted by cm.Selma you are a great inspiration to all of us to. Kind of feels like kindred spirits if we work together our works becomes one.
I know that sounds dopey but what can I say !!!
good luck to you all, lol

Again, I am a "day late & a dollar short", but I would love to help however I can. Whatever has been shared here has been a tremendous help & comfort to me and I want to "pay it forward." If we can continue to offer support to others, I'm in!! And to follow in the footsteps of Kelly would be an honor!!   ***Jean

Iaam thanking everyday that I wake up.We can all  be grateful we are alive even with our problems. maybe someday the neuroligist [sic]? will be able to diagnost? our problems more rapidly and help will even sooner for the ones that need surgery.  I am not trying to preach I am just thankful for the many new developments in NS with each one that is just that much more knowledge that the drs have to treat other people.  I hope I am not sounding like an idiot but as in one of my other msgs my story is very long and complicated. good luck to all who are going into surgery and all who are trying to deal with this problem of chiari . lol hh505 in fla.

by Hursty48, Oct 29, 2009 06:23PM
Yes Selma. Please let me know if you would like my input. More than happy to help
