Re:Chat~ Charlene to Jodi R.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jodi R. for your kind words and for being so welcoming to me on

this site. This has really proven to be a godsend of information and

support. I have learned more in my short time here - Thanks to

everybody - than I have in the medical community these past four

years. I will take what I can and hopefully, one day, will be able to

provide others with the invaluable information, and support I've found.

Take good care - 'till later,

Charlene
