What an inspirational and encouraging story! Thanks for sharing.

Apparently, she doesn't lead an "active life" so was okay to choose a valve that required Coumadin. (I guess I'm a little sarcastic this morning.) Would love to show this to all the doctors who tell patients that if they lead an "active life" they shouldn't take Coumadin.

Wonderful story. St. Jude has to be loving this - as am I.

Congratulations not only to this gal but also to the 74 year old woman who climbed to the summit about a month ago.

Now, if someone can enlist them to come help me climb my stairs on a daily basis . . . . think it's the bovine in me being contrary, Karlynn?

As soon as I can work in my yard all day long without wanting to take a nap - that's when I'll head to Everest.

Mary, did they tell you if it came from a cow or a bull? I'm pretty sure mine is from Willy Wonka's Spare Parts room.

That's where I went wrong! I should have had a V-8!

Seriously, I didn't get a choice between a cow or a bull!

But Karlynn, you know men . . . . maybe I got a male counterpart when a she-cow would have given me more vim and vigor!

That's why I picked the St Jude! Politically correct and gender neutral
