Going thru this barbaric Tx was like climbing up Mt Everest alone, backward, blindfolded, naked and without ropes or Oxygen in the dead of Winter. It was by far the hardest mental and physical thing I have ever done and I didn't have any surgery like many of you had.
Just trying to cheer you up Angelia....
