Hi Annie
First of all I am not familiar with blogging so although I am intending for my response to be personal and to be private, I don't actually know if this message is private or automatically posted! LOL.
It was WONDERFUL for you to have taken the time to respond with your own experience and so COMFORTING for me to know that I am not the only one that has chosen this path. I had no intention to write a post but this group looked like it needed some support! ... I needed some support too, so I am most grateful for your reply.
I am wondering, how are you now, Annie? How long ago was it that you had your operation?
Thank you for your kind wishes. I also wish you, all the best for your health, happiness and your boys. xx
