Re: Re: Families w/ ATTT experience

[Guest guest]

, you are right in your thought, maybe the clubfoot site would be a

better choice to glean information from older folks. I probably could have

worded my thought a little more narrowly than to say the " end of the story " .

Also, I would definately would not want to be a part of frightening or

discouraging anyone in any way.

I totally agree with the fundamental difference in correction (or in my case

lack thereof). My thought was that it may be beneficial to everyone to share

experiences and knowledge. For example, when I was undergoing the bulk of my

surgeries as a child, medical terms were not used to describe even the bones

that were being affected by my surgeries. You all are initiated immediately

into using the correct terms for procedures and the anatomy of the foot and I

have learned alot. I, on the other hand, have experienced just about every

procedure you can imagine on my foot along with the recovery period.

I think we can help each other. You all have helped me already, more than I

can ever tell you. I want to give back and be as helpful and informative as my

experiences allow me to be.

Thank you so much for the gracious and thoughtful response.
