Beth, that would be great! Do you ever go to Dr. Hess' meetings? Maybe we

could try to drum up some longer term post-ops there too and see if we can

get them on the list!

Dee and I have tried to " drum up business " , but perhaps if I request them to write out their stories and tell them *I* will post them(some may not have computers), perhaps we may get a few people to refer back to. I have went to a few of the meetings, although the nurses that run the support meetings don't have a clue to what they are doing....ugh. No control over the group at all, and it gets very annoying. At any rate, I'm going to find a few of them and ask if they would mind helping us out with their stories.....we'll see how that goes. :-)

hugs,

Beth
