Just bouncing this one to the top again for the benefit of our many Newbies since late last year .... BCNA forum has so many different areas that allow you to express yourself & show off your humour, art, pets & gardens (as well as all the serious stuff!)
If you haven't had your surgery yet, there is a link (down the bottom of the thread) with tips on what to take with you ..... and also a link to some 'tick lists' for questions to put to your medical team so that you are more prepared for your ongoing appointments
take care and all the best xx
