I was looking forward to meeting you. I want to attend the next

it. Still looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Oh..let me clarify something! LOL

I stated earlier

" Maybe this will ease my mind as well as many

others! "

I said this ONLY b/c I am one that is still suffering

from chronic fatigue even with the vitamins, etc. I

did NOT say this b/c I buy into the bull that is being

stated on the other board. I will admit that I ALMOST

swayed, but after careful prayer and research, I know

that I made the best decision and chose the BEST

surgeon that I possibly could have!!!

I also want to say that we are very lucky to have a Dr

like we do. ANYTIME I have experienced a problem, Dr

R has always been there for me. He has always been

honest, upfront, and to the point about what it was I

needed to do. I remember when I was suffering from a

vitamin defficiancy and it was b/c I was not taking my

vitamins. I spoke with Dr R and he laid it on the

line. He basically told me I take them, have a

reversal or die, take my pick! Can't say that I liked

hearing those choices, but he was telling the truth.

I LOVEEEE that man! If I chose not to do what he

said...then that was MY fault.

Again, Thanks Dr R!

Oh!!!! Can the people who are coming to the support

group meeting tomm please e-mail me privatley?? Just

wanting to get a feel. I was originally scheduled to

go to the one in Gastonia b/c it is closer, but I

think I might make that 4 hr trip after all
