Hi Rachel, Just so that you understand my point, I have harbor absolutely no negativity towards anyone who decides for the surgery. As a matter of fact, from all I have read, I think I would lean toward believing that I would probably decide on the surgery also. I cannot say for sure, I am not in that situation. Maybe that is precisely why I understand both sides. Because this doesn't pertain to me personally, I am on the outside looking in and see things differently than someone who may be or may have had to consider this. I am happy for Kaye and now you for making an extremely difficult decision and having it be successful. What better outcome. My point was that this topic is not unlike other difficult decisions that people make in their lives. The fact of the matter is that when one makes decisions and decides to tell others about it, one must also face the fact that others will not agree with their decisions. Which is totally normal. That is my point. Differences in opinion, whether asked for or not, will always be given. It is human nature. This is a perfect example, our discussing this. Obviously we both feel differently about this point that I am trying to make. I am not insulted at all about your post. I don't see anything negative about it. Yet if I was a different type of person, maybe I would. See my point, differences are what makes the world go round. I guess I also just view all criticism as constructive. In your opinion, all of the posts were negative and antagonistic. I didn't see it like that at all. Theres the difference!
