[QUOTE="cugila, post: 121790, member: 15325"] Ok, it's Sunday and I am just chillin' out today. So nothing too heavy. [b]First of all I have to say a big thank you to those who responded here, your thoughts and comments mean so much to me. I was too emotional yesterday to respond. I don't do 'tears and stuff.' Just me, however, I have to admit to some yesterday when I read the things that you good people had said about what happened to me and about me. I was deeply moved. Thank you all. I hope you will all forgive me when I single out one guy who I think deserves a medal...... Suffolkboi..... Joe. This guy has been to hell and back, he deserves a medal for what he has done and for his endeavours in battling Diabetes and other stuff. My best wishes and prayers are with you Joe[/b] Right now back to the point of all this. I was subjected to something that I should never have been. A medical mistake.
