Viginia - Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. I'm pleased to know that my journey touched you and had an impact on you. How often we write and don't know if anyone is even reading, to find out that indeed, there are those who do so. I'm glad you found my words to be helpful to you. I wish you the best in your journey. I'm now 32 days post-op and this is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Many blessings - Robin
