My dear Julie, WELCOME
It sounds like you have been through the ringer as most of us have, I too have just recently had a neck disecction on the right side on Jan. 11 so am still recovering. I , like you am glad for this site it has been a godsend as far as answering many questions and alivating many fears. Thanks for being here with the rest of us, even though you have a bunch of children you will still find time for this site and you will be helping others as everyone does here, So thanks in advance and hang in there my dear.
Always lenny
