This was asked of me Saturday nite by an Aunt of my daughter's friend who came to our home to take pics for the prom. On the one hand, it is a downer and on the other, I am grateful to be alive, I truly am. Just wish the scar was somewhere else on my body! I have had my bouts of depression since all of this and my doctor has helped me out with it. Take Care, Carol
