It Boggles the Mind
to think that so many people have either had this
type of surgery or are contemplating it. I haven’t
posted in a long time, but I read all the messages and
take every one to heart as it gives me the support I
need to face each day. I had my surgery over two years
ago and I wish I had known there were so many people
out there like myself…boy could I have used the
support then. I am thankful, however, today for each
question, comment and word of encouragement even though it
isn’t directed toward me. I sometimes wonder how many
people I see in the Mall’s might have had this type of
surgery, and I am not even aware of it. I feel bad for the
ones struggling with their insurance companies and for
those trying to conquer their life after surgery and
wish all the best for those that are looking toward
the future after they finally are able to receive the
surgery. Everyone have a joyous holiday and know that even
though I don’t post very often, each message is read
with the understanding and care each of us are looking
for each day. <br><br>Helen<br>Surgery: 8-14-1997 @
