Thank you very much!

[Guest guest]

I posted earlier today as a newcomer to this group and was blown away to

get the replies so quickly. What I most love is that your replies are

honest and upbeat. I am a " live in the solution and positive " person.

Finding a group like this one is an answer to prayer.

My name is Lark. I'll learn my way around in this on-line format...a

little new to me.

I went to see my doctor this morning and asked for a referral to a

different pulmonary specialist after hearing some rather negative

comments about the local guy. My doctor was totally up for it...thought

I wanted to stay local or would have referred me elsewheres. I'll fill

you in after I get the details. My doctor also had time for a long visit

this morning so we really talked and shared together. This was a big

boost for me emotionally. I feel so much better...a little knowledge

goes a long way. He is very clear that this is a long, arduous journey.

Honesty means so much to me.

I read each of your suggestions with interest. I'll follow them. They

are practical and will make life simpler. I am accustomed to group

sharing due to my involvement with AA. I feel just like I did when I

found AA and understood my situation. I much prefer a diagnosis to not

knowing and now I have a group to join. It doesn't get much better than

that in my world.
