Thanks! This board has been so helpful to me... hopefully I can "give back" to it. You've been great here, too!

So Great......!!!!

Congrats !!!

I think I've only caught bits of your story...... I really have respect for you all that have had complications. A tuff road and your coming through it brilliantly with great clarity on how you got through it and on to goal.

I often get a bit miffed at the few that seem to complain about everything so minuscule compared to a real complication. You went through months of issues and this day (Yesterday) has to mean....well just about everything.....all those Zomby days when you didn't know which way was which to this great day !!!!

Congrats and Enjoy !!!!

Thanks Frisco! Your wisdom and food pics have helped me a lot along the way. Even with my complication, I would do it all over again. This is for life, and I'm so glad I did it!

So, um, when are you gonna start that food blog??
