Hi Aussie, Congratulations on having had your surgery!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! I have always had an answer when someone asks me how I am that I tell them that I am Sensational!!! Apart from being good for a laugh I find that if I say it often enough I feel sensational ;-) . It's so good that you do realise just how incredibly strong you are and your roar is fantastic!! I know it's easy to say but try and not worry about what people will think of you now - or if you do remind yourself that they too will see you as being a pillar of wonderful strength!!! And keep up the roaring :-) All the best Xx Cath
