Chris Hull: another question?!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for taking the time to be there for so many of us who have

questions. I also want to thank you for the fabulous and very informative

letter that you shared with the group (the one that you sent to Aetna).

You obviously put a great deal of work into that letter. Thank you for

offering it to the rest of the group. If anyone deserves the surgery, I

think it definitely should be you!

I have a question that I though you might be willing to answer. When

you have your DS surgery, how long do you plan to have your common limb?

What are your thoughts on the length of the common limb?

P.S. I am female ( my name could be male or female) My husband and I talk

about you and your letters quite often....we were just wondering if you are

male or female?
