Hi Denise; Thank you for those words of encouragement. Ever since I've been on this site I haven't felt so alone, because there are people here that actually understand, and have compassion for the pain we all go through. You are right we are all in this together, and part of our strength is in numbers. That is why I wanted to write this letter to Montel and Oprah (to start). I then would include all the names that I have been getting, and also have the people that are interested mark down their own comments and feedback. They/We/Us can write what they've had to go through. All the pain and suffering we've had to endure, the physical & emotional scarring, how doctors and nurses don't hear what we say etc... I will post the letter on the message board within a few days, and whoever wants to add what they have been going through "FANTASTIC." I'll then bundle the letter, names & the messages/coments/feedback people want to let Montel and Oprah know, and hope and pray we get a good answer. If you have other ideas, or anything you want to add that would be great. I/we can use all the signatures & help we can get. From your letter you seem to have alot of positiveness, strength, & courage & God only knows when your fighting the physical & emotional pain, & everything else that goes with it, it really helps to have that on your side. It is great to meet you and thank you for your help. Bye for now, MeGaaA Guelph, Ontario Canada
