Hi and Thanks
Hi everyone, Even though you didn't know it you have been my guides and encouragement over the past few weeks. I first found you at four weeks recovery when I was feeling like I would never see any improvement. Sharing your experiences showed me I was on the right track, it was very...- aussie
