answers for you too! Even though it is not good news, it is

certainly hopeful that you now have a direction in which to go and

there apprears to be some solutions for all your awful problems. I

am always praying for you Shari. Hang in there. You will get

better, I just know it. With your ability to remain determined and

optimistic you will make it through! I can't wait for the day that

Shari . .. I hope you'll share what you learned from Dr. Kolb when you have time and feel up to it! . . . I'm so thankful you're finally getting some answers! . . . But so sorry to hear that your doctor didn't do your explant right . . . Hugs and prayers, Rogene

Shari, I am so excited for you that you were able to see Dr. Kolb, but wow, what a shock about the capsule that is remaining! I had thought that your doctor in Florida took care of that for you, although you did say that a portion of your shell was missing, didn't you? That just really sucks if he left that in you and you have been sick all this time from that. Maybe this is the miracle that you needed....I know how much you wanted to be healed and work again. I have felt so sad for you in your struggles, not knowing what else needed to be done, and how we could help other than to pray! It looks like now you have some answers. When are you going to schedule surgery? That's so sad that Dr. Kolb has a broken shoulder....I know that alot of women are probably having to delay surgery because of that. How did she break it? I hope she heals fast. As a result of your visit, what were you able to start doing now to help your situation? Did she suggest any more detoxing? I'm really happy for you that you were able to go up to Atlanta to see her. I know this is all such a struggle financially, emotionally and other ways, but we will be here to help you get through it. I am really praying for your healing. It's been too long for you! Hugs, Patty halvey70@... wrote: Hello all I am back form my trip to Atlanta to see Dr. Kolb.
