Death of a Ky. member

I received word this morning that Cindy Brown from Silver Grove, Ky had passed away. She had her surgery June 10 and died at home last night from a blood clot in her leg. She was just in her 30's and had this surgery like all of us to have a healthier life but this is one of the big risks and I'm so sorry. She belonged to another message board and I'm also a member and this is very hard to think about, especially with Big Pete passing away too this past week. Please when you have this very important procedure, walk every hour even if it is painfull. I can't tell you how important this part is but please don't change your mind because of this, Cindy would probably be the first to tell you go ahead and choose life instead of sitting waiting for the unknown. Take care. Susy
