I feel that I have learned a valuable lesson managing life with this disease. That is no matter what you think is bad or awful in life there is always someone whose needs are much stronger than yours. So I do not want anyone to take on the pitiful me sense in this letter, I just want to open the eyes of healing to all who look here for strength. Being told that you could have passed on had you not taken care of this when you did was a eye opener. My doctor (Dr. Church) at Clevland is a true example of one who is put on earth from God to help us. I am only 28 yrs old and getting ready for my second stage of surgery but I look at this as a stepping stone, not a block. We are all put to the test and thats why we are all on this website to find a strength, I'm ready to take life back again.
