Good morning , Stephanie!! and welcome to the board. I am fairly new to the board also and it is a wonderful place to be. I have learned alot here by just reading and when I have a question, someone steps up quickly and helps. I am sure you will find it helpful too. Prayers are just part of the deal here it seems. Be ready to start your journey to being a "loser". Carol

Thank you Carol for making me feel welcome that means a lot to me i hope to chat with you again and you have a great day.......

Welcome aboard.Any questions this is the place to ask. Everyone on here is wonderful and friendly. IMP gail

Stephanie, welcome to O.H., if you haven't already done it, wander around the site and check it out. There is a very good library here, and an excellent Q&A area, any questions you have, havs already been answered, at least once. The message boards are also a great source for information and support, I hope you enjoy it here. Good luck.

Denise, Did you have your surgery already? I saw your surgery date was yesterday and saw your post so I was curious. I also had Dr. Overcash as a surgeon, do you ever go to the support group meetings in Lake Mary? Amy
