Maryann! Your life is a whirlwind of one more battle, then one more battle. I'm so sorry that it's going to take two hip replacements to get you fixed. I know the weight loss is good when you need it, but don't keep it up! What do they need to do to help you stop it? Your kids are the luckiest ever to have you! Keep chasing your dreams, Maryann. Lots of love and wishes for better health and No Events!!!! ma
