Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 Hi Alice, Welcome to the group......you've got lots of family here. Don't hesitate to ask lots of questions. We're a mixture of pre-op and post-op siblings so it's always interesting around here. Good luck on your quest for information. I hope you find what you need.
