Being scared

[Guest guest]

Joni

I think most all of us are scared and I think it is

quite normal. It's not only scary - it's a very

emotional time. There were a lot tears around Durham

on Wed morning. I cried at the drop of a hat. Vicki

told Dr. R that she was a little nervous and he said

he would be worried about her if she wasn't scared!

Like Trudy said, once you meet Dr. R it is all so much

better. He fills you with confidence.

I guess now I am a Rutledge moonie!!! <G>
