@bustrbrwn22 You are welcome and thank you for your kind words. I always try to use myself as an example if it can help someone else learn how to advocate for themselves. I didn't start out knowing how to do this and I grew up fearing medical procedures. I learned all of this the hard way and the funny thing is that my parents really wanted me to be a doctor and I got a biology degree with that in mind, but when it came to that decision in my young life, I knew that I could not handle the stress and trauma that doctors must deal with. I lived with those fears right up until I needed to face them when I went through spine surgery. I couldn't let my fear decide my future and I had to face it and deprogram it in order to have the surgery I needed to keep from becoming disabled. That is both an easy choice and a hard choice at the same time, and I was changed by that experience. So I will put the question out there... how does fear, anger or regret hold you back from making decisions that could better your life? How can you change that now?
