Thank you, You don't know how important it is to hear, that more than 1
had continuous pain from the beginning. She is starting college, &
thinking anymore surgery will have to wait til next summer. I shudder
to think of 9 months of pain. I am thrilled your last surgery was so
successful! HOPE, there it is again! We had to laugh at you mom saying
"Buck it up!" & then feeling guilty.. There is a lot of that going
around. You take care of yourself & have some fun while you're up! You
deserve it.
