Gary and Kim,

As an observer in this exchange, I need to express appreciation for both of you and the passion and commitment you bring to this forum. As someone with a limited experience thus far in my journey, I read all of Gary's posts and respect his opinions and experience. I haven't had to go where he has been and don't want to, but I will have some idea of what to expect if I do.

Thank you Kim for bringing the medical knowledge. You really do clarify things in an easy to understand manner. I know it is tough to bring a different perspective in a discussion or to gently modify what someone else has stated to insure we get a balanced picture.

Sincerely,
Lisa in Ks
