Rick - YIPEE ! Are you celebrating with wife & family? You have done such a terrific job - sharing your journey with us and being so positive about it all, and of course, helping others. You did get back to work so much sooner than I did, but I am a pouch owner and as you say, we are all different. I didn't feel well enough to return to work until six months after surgery. This last week was my first 40 hour work week and commuting 50 miles each way...I'm rather proud of myself.
Where we are alike is that we are all fighters and do share a common bond. I'm so glad you and I work for the same company and had the chance to meet in person...and will meet again. I so enjoyed our time together at Tully's. I wish somehow we ALL had a chance to meet in person...maybe some day we will....if not, let's hope we all come together in heaven. Take care & have a great day! Hugs,
Melodie
