Hi Jen, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fiona, and I was banded on the 7th March by the same surgeon you had. Before my surgery I was eagerly reading everything I could. When I came across your profile, I read everything you had written, so I could try to get to know a patient who had been through what I was about to do, with the same team. I was absolutely devastated to learn about your stroke, and began to question my decision, but then I realised that your story is so inspirational, and I thought - hey, if Jen can do it after her awful ordeal, what is my excuse??? I'm so pleased you are home, and well on your way to recovery. I will pray for your continued improvement and long term wellbeing. Thanks for being so honest and inspirational!! HUGS, F :rolleyes2:
