Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hello, all. I just wanted to share my news. I finally got up the nerve to e-mail Anne Marie with Dr. Sutherland's office re: info on the auto islet transplant/pancreatectomy. I feel empowered right now! I talked to my manager about my upcoming surgery, and, when I told him of this procedure, he encouraged me greatly to just do it. He asked me that question, " What do you have to lose, ? You're having surgery that's going to keep you out of work for a while - and you still might not be better! " So, I did. I just want to say a special thanks to Shirley and Gail, whose e-mails I never deleted with all of this info on it re: the surgery. Thanks for caring enough to send me all of this good information, as well as just caring in general. Also, to the rest of you wonderful people, I feel as though you are an extension of my family now. I know I'm being sappy right now (might be the meds), but I truly feel so happy to have become a member of this group! It's funny how sending one e-mail makes a person feel so high (no pun intended). I just feel like I'm taking charge. Nothing may come from this, who knows, but I'm just glad to have had the information to do it - without you guys, I wouldn't have! God Bless each and every person here - my prayers are with you! in KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
