First of all congratulations on your great checkup and doing all those things you thought you would never do. I could list at least a hundred that were on my list.
Secondly, you may think that you didn't have a big effect on that couple, but I'll bet they would tell you that you did. I think that what Joanna has been doing is a great idea and I intend to contact my surgeon and let him know that I would volunteer to speak to anyone that needs some support. You are off to a good start already.
