Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi Dave, Just wishing you the best of luck! You deserve it especially after having to endure two other unsuccessful surgeries... I hope this third surgery will be the charm and 100% a success for you!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Of course, Dave, I think I can safely say that all of us wish you the best of luck. And regret that you've had such a hard time of things so far. I can tell you that, judging from previous posts, Dr. O' and her team are most competent and caring surgeons. I hope and trust that she will do well by you, too. Sorry it's been such a long road for you.
