To Everybody with Procedures Coming Up

[Guest guest]

First of all, best wishes to everyone who has surgery or UFE coming

up soon.

I had successful myomectomy in December and it helped me tremendously

to read the stories of those who had gone before.

Here is a way to " give back " to NUFF and enable NUFF, and Carla and

all her wonderful helpers, to continue to maintain the support and

information we get here. NUFF is an all-volunteer, shoestring

operation.

I asked my coworkers, friends and family to donate to NUFF instead of

sending me flowers and chocolates (though I also told them that no

good chocolate would be refused!). I asked for some feedback from a

couple of good friends before doing this -- Is it nervy? Is it

morbid, since you usually hear of this kind of request only when

someone dies? They both were very positive about my making this

request (though neither of them donated, so who knows ;-). So I sent

around an e-mail explaining what NUFF is and how it helped with my

decision-making process.

Anyway, there weren't as many donations as I hoped for, but the total

was $200 which made me very happy.

If you decide to do this, ask your potential donors to indicate when

they send their donation that it is at your request, and then ask

NUFF or Carla to let you know who has donated so you can send

personal acknowledgments.
