" I agree with Judy x 100! I was thinking again this morning while browsing your forums in the wee hours of the morning how I would be so lost without your website and online community. I've been a part of your website and community since at least 2000, and here I am FINALLY 18 days away from surgery. You save lives. I know that may sound cheesy, but I really, really feel that I owe you my life and that by being the warrior who went ahead of us all and put the information out there you saved so many other lives in the process as well. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your countless hours of work and for having a heart made of gold. THANK YOU! "
