Thank You...

Brett - WOW! I heard about this tonight and thought, no, it couldn't be so bad. You found a way to make almost all of us special. I never felt that I was one of many patients, just the only one. I know I've given you a hard time (teasing...) in the short time we've known each other..just know that I only tease the best of the best in my life. I wouldn't take the time for anyone but the best. Congrats to you and I wish you best in your new endeavor. Take half as good of care to the NC folks as you did us and you'll make lots of new friends. Next post, I expect to hear that the golf handicap has improved! Best of luck to you, Valerie

brett, sooo sorry i missed your party--i had a previous engagement.. but, please know that you were, and still are, in my thoughts and prayers. i will forever remember you for your honesty and straight forward manner. i sooo admire that in a person. when i first came to the office i had been sick (and miserable from being sick) for well over a year. this surgery seemed like the only answer and yet i was scared simple. i attended almost every support group meeting i could find for seven months in attempt to gain as much information as i could. thanks to you and the others involved in the process i was totally prepared for the surgery and so far i've been very successful. my life has changed completely in the two months since surgery. it truly has been a gift from all of you and god. i will NEVER forget how hard all of you worked to get me where i am today and i will FOREVER hold all of you close to my heart for this incredible gift. thank you!!!! wishing you the very best life has to offer, gwen bogia
