Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Hi , As far as I'm concerned, you can rant all you want. We need to be each other's sounding boards and to learn from each other. We can't do that if anyone feels they cannot express a view/feeling that may be " unpopular " . If you don't want to post something on this semi-public forum, but still need someone to listen, please go ahead and send to my email at bunsofluff @ hotmail.com (no spaces - Yahoo recognizes email addresses on bulletin boards and blanks out the ending for 'privacy' so I throw in spaces to trick it). How did your consult go? I talk to my PCP about surgery later today and have a consult with Dr. Pomp on 2/27...
