  • A big thank you to everyone...

    I am feeling especially grateful today. I just wanted to thank each and EVERY ONE of you for the support and advice, and for taking time to listen and help others. I am so thankful for this forum and the friends I've made through it. You all have helped me through quite an adventure, and I truly appreciate everything you have done. Yes, even YOU, whoever is reading this!

    Every post, no matter how insignificant it may seem, adds up to a broad knowledge base of so many different experiences. I always get an answer. I always feel supported.

    I only wish we all lived within driving distance of each other so we could have lunches or a girls night out once in awhile! Ok, the guys could come to! The poor guys are really outnumbered here... But what they lack in numbers, they make up in entertainment value! (Hmmm...who would THAT be???)

    Thanks again!

    "adventure" . . . now that's a good word for the presurgery, surgery, and recovery! Seriously, I agree with everything Jenee' said and definitely could not have said it better.
