Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,004 | It is pretty awesome...the happiness I feel is unreal. It's as powerful and the despair I felt every time I went and they saw something they didn't like. I still take it one day at a time.
Jerry, Fox Chase is trying to expand and the neighbors won't approve? Ray and I joke about golfing before an appointment but I think we could do without that:) The staff there is so awesome. They were all so happy for me..it was really cool. I hope for more appointments like that.
