    Our loved ones have no idea what we are going through and dealing with. .

      Hello again renee, don't know what I would have done without all the support you and others have given me. I was finding it a lonely and scary ordeal, but am now able to look forward knowing that I'm not going through this alone, and that I'm not the only one finding the whole experience painful and mentally draining. Good news though, today I am able to walk with one crutch, so not feeling so helpless and vulnerable. Having a free hand to fetch and carry (stuff) from room to room without having to rely on others is amazing. Keep up the good work, you have no idea what it means to us all. Thanks again renee hope your own recovery goes from strength to strength. Love and luck.💖

    That's the wonderful thing about this forum, so many selfless individuals all trying to help each other through THR and recovery.

    Between us we have a wealth of experiences, and ideas.

    I was astounded at the help I received when I first discovered this forum, and now I am happy to try to help others through the process.

    Welcome to you.

    You are all exactly right and Renée and Rocketman were two of the first to welcome me and show me around the site - be sure to check out the useful resources top of our discussion page and Rocketman (aka Graham's) own sire which summarizes an amazing wealth of info about the range of experience a THR journey encompasses plus great advice re dealing with common symptoms.

    Glad you recognize this amazing forum too - it has helped keep me sane in the inevitable lows and ebbs of recovery and helped assuage unnecessary fears.

    I look forward to hearing more about your experiences here and esp for it to become easier.

    Hugs,

    L

      Hello Linda, I have been blown away by the kindness and support from the people on this site, all having struggles of their own, but taking the time to reasure others on this rocky journey. I hope I can be just as helpful to others who are feeling scared and alone, as was I until finding this site. It would be helpful if this site was advertised in doctors surgeries. I am down to one crutch today and feeling less vulnerable, having one hand free to carry (stuff) From room to room. I'm sure I'll have good days and bad days, but I know I'm not alone. Thanks again, wishing you a very speedy recovery. Love and luck. 💖
