Reading your post, Brad, I just want to comment that I am amazed and impressed by the fortitude that you, and others who have gone through this amazing surgery, have shown in facing life. I realize again and again as I read this forum, how lucky I am to have only recently developed this chronic illness and to have been able to enjoy the earlier part of my life without pain and disability. Hats off to all of you - you are truly amazing.
