No subject, just a lot of Fire!

Hello again ladies,

I know I've been pretty quiet lately, but I think I've already mentioned that not only is my poor health a problem, but I am also in the midst of a divorce, so my access to the board is intermittent. Nonetheless, I was just reading some posts and I must say that Sis and Steph brought tears to my eyes. It infuriates the hell out of me that there are so many suffering and there continues to be denial and ignorance on the part of those who are supposed to help us on many different levels.

Which brings me to my next question. How many of you are willing to be stand up and be heard instead of getting no results? Yes, I'm conjuring something up, but for now the Who, What, Where, and How is a trivial thing by comparison. I just don't want to think that there are people who will stand with me and then later on I realize I'm standing alone. My efforts to retain legal counsel for these implants have proven to be fruitless at this point, but it's still not going to stop me. Reading these posts just gets me fired up all over again. My point being that I know I'm not alone on the board, but I don't want to be alone out here when it comes down to it.

Rogene? How many of us are there that are relatively active on this board?

I so very much want these things out! But I feel so defeated already by the cost of the removal alone right now is obviously not a financially fun time in my life...I feel like I should beg, borrow, or steal....how pathetic is that? Maybe I'll get lucky and find a Pro Bono doc - Hmmm? So if there are some of you that are willing to post how much you've paid for explantation and in which state, I'd really love to know.

I took a picture of my hair loss and I'll post it in the photos section if anybody wants to see how much I lose on a daily basis.
