Yep, keep your chin up, actually, I`m still waiting for mine, can`t seem to get a surgery date..if you find that magic potion to get in the right frame of mind, let me know...actually was pretty insensitive of your doc..........also, would suggest antidepressants, if you`re not already on them, I finally gave into them about 6 weeks ago, for PTSD, from all this crap.......they don`t make you happy, but help you to cope, I`ve had my trach and feeding tube one year today.....but where, oh where, is my chin??? Hang In There!!!
