YAY for Day SEVEN!!! What a great accomplishment! I'm proud of you, Jens...keep your head up. You're doing a great job, and you are gaining control of another aspect of your life. Your leg is coming along and healing, so you will soon have all of your freedoms back and the ability to do what you want to do again. You've got a great group of girls here that love and support you.

Keep it up, Jens. Way to go...

Lookin' good, Jen!

Glad you're back to logging. You were in pre-comp when I started here on EF and I was really motivated by your progress and your winning your comp. It's really is nice to see you back at it!
