Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Boy do I ever agree with you there Peggy. Can't say it enough. The surgery is a new start. I have memories of embarrasing moments everywhere. My daughter who is 8 is remembering them too and keeps saying how great it doesn't happen any more. She wrote an email to Dr Bessell this morning thanking him for fixing her Mummy and making her happy.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Thank you, Martha. As you say, there are people much worse off than I, and obviously your experiences were much worse than what I dealt with. There really is no viable option, though, than to go on with life and take whatever positive thing we can from the experience. I am very sorry for your losses, but gratified to see that your recovery from the blows appears to be complete. Ever grateful for my family and friends,Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
