Re: ...on Deb......ughhhhhhh

[Guest guest]

Hi - e-mail me and we can talk ! I no longer

have the energy to deal with censorship or to

encourage people to have some compassion...I am too

busy being grateful that I have been blessed with a

great surgical outcome...helping those who need

information, direction and a supportive ear...and

commend you for seeking both sides of the story. Some

one ... a medical professional .... once made a bit of

fun at this list and said it was all about Wooo

Hooo....Go girl....congrats...You got approval.....You

know... the light and airy feel good stuff. I

adamantly defended that it always told the good the

bad and the ugly....I no longer feel that way. Like I

said....not going to waste my breath on this topic

here anymore... Anyone really interested in supporting

Anybody...including Deb...e-mail me ! JJ

(sad......but just fine !)

Thank you, Joe. Yours was the first post I caught when I first began lurking

on this site. I was impressed with your knowledge, compassion, and just

plain good humor, despite all you'd gone through. I am even more impressed

with your common sense. You, and others like you, are the reason I won't

desert this site. You've taught me alot and will continue to do so. Hang in

thewre. We need you!
