One of the more popular journal writers in AOL’s J-land is Penny, also known as blondepennierae, of “A Pennies Worth.”

According to John, Penny suffered a brain aneurysm this morning and has been rushed to an area hospital. She is scheduled to undergo brain surgery tomorrow in an attempt to repair the damage.

Penny is a 2005 Vivi Award winner for “Most Inspirational Journal” and is much loved by her regular readers for her determination and the “can-do” philosophy by which she lives her life. She beat polio when she was just two years old and post-polio syndrome more than three decades later. I certainly hope she can beat this, too.

Please visit her journal and leave your well-wishes. Every prayer helps, folks.

UPDATE: Penny has come through the surgery and doctors are “guardedly optimistic.” The full update is here.
