I try to be supportive and positive

 A fairly young man posted last night and I responded quickly because I wanted him to have a quick reply.  I tend to be anxious, and I wondered if I had given him the right response.  I don't normally deal with younger people--I don't have any children and my nephews and nieces are in their late teens to early thirties.  I just don''t see them that often and we almost don't speak the same language when I e-mail them.  I'm interested in them, but I do have trouble relating to them.  And, they are close relatives.

So, I wondered how my remarks would have been received.  Well, apparently, everything was taken the way it was meant.

I try to tailor my response to the individual post.  If I don't think my response would help other men, sometimes I'll just Contact the person who made the original post.  And, I don't even remember what the early post-op routine was like.  Yeah, I've been reading about it for years, but I do believe that responses from men who have recently experience that situation are most helpful to the newbies.  They can help each other.

Your response was well taken, so no worries. Thanks.
