  • Heartfelt Thanks

    Well the time is finally here and I want to thank everyone who has given me their support. Words cannot express my deepfelt gratitude. I am grateful for everyone's advice and stories. It has helped me greatly. I am definitely ready for this.
    Thank You so much Shelley. The call really helped.
    I hope that after I come through this I will be able to help others even a fraction of the way I have been helped through this forum.

          Good Luck Dawn on your surgery. I'll be praying for you to have a successful surgery and a good recovery. Just remember, if you're feeling pain, let the nurses know before the pain gets to bad. When you get home, take it easy and just take it slow. Keep telling yourself that it will get better. Take Care!

            I know you are currently in surgery, or perhaps in recovery already, but I want to let you know that I'm praying for you today and we all look forward to hearing from you post-op!

            Best,
