Hi Elizabeth,

Hope my well wishes for a smooth and steady recovery reach you soon after your surgery. I'm thinking positive thoughts and sending prayers your way, today, on your surgery day. I hope you'll find strength in knowing that there are many of us out here supporting you in ways you may never be aware of!

I'm a newbie too and found your post and all of the replies very educational:) It really gave me an insight into the diversity of our members and the gift of knowledge that can come from differing views and experiences. You all make me feel right at home...an extension of my family!

I'll follow your lead, Elizabeth, with a proper introduction after I have a little more info to share. It's nice to know that I'm in such good company as a new member!
