She sounds amazing. I'm glad she's in your life. I wish I had a Lynette in my life. I hope that everything she told you is true and that you are able to get back on track by working with her.

Thanks--I've been empathizing over here as I read about your struggling through your leg et al. I hope you find a Lynette, too.

Yay!! Something you can work with... WOOT and here's to strong muscles and properly aligned everything else.

Love you!
