Re: am new member from joliet il · by knightfan26917 Fri Jun 12, 2015 7:44 am

Aye ... sorry for the additional surgery needed. Thoughts/prayers continuing. I'm all too familiar with the frustrations of health issues causing problems, so ... vent away, if you need.

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. It sucks that you have to wait 3 weeks for corrective surgery. I hope everything turns out well.
