Re: Great Insight...Found in "PracticeUpdate"

AWWWWW, I am RIGHT HERE with you GIRLS!!! WE ARE OUR OWN VERY BEST ADVOCATES!!!
After I started asking questions, as I'd been on the internet, etc...I'd get responses as to "Stay off off the internet, listen to your doctor, don't believe all your hear...
That is when I KNEW to "GET ONLINE, DO MY OWN RESEARCH...carry a notebook with me of questions/answers to ask my doctors as soon as I figured out I NEEDED to start "doing my own job!!"

Glad we are in this TOGETHER...I could really get going...but, I have to go pick up my son...!!! How I THANK GOD FOR MY FAMILY!!!

Hugs!!
