I think it is great that you are not just putting yourself first, but you are also putting yourself in charge of your health -- and being in charge often means learning to listen to other people.  It's not easy!  Congratulations!

What an awesome internet community! It's totally great that we have this to help us through some very trying times. We ask questions, we communicate life stories health related or not.  We feel comfortable sharing and opening up to each other and ourselves.  It's great that we have this to help us see what we already know but choose to put off.  What an eye opening site (and Dr. Phils) and a very cleansing one.  We're not just "connecting" we're "cleansing".  Thanks Sue, nice blog.  Diana
