This is absolutely inspiring for me Pauline.
Sometimes I wonder if we never really here of many
successes because they feel so good they don't write
in to the board...they need less support, maybe?...so,
I'm glad that you posted your success...I've heard of
two now in the past two weeks. Being a "first-timer"
to adhesions this gives me a little hope for myself.
Thanks Again. Marianne Bolding-AZ
