I, too, will be there this Saturday along with my husband. I have been skeptical about the visit, as has my husband. Drummer can speak to that. However, after reading his post, I can possibly see where our skepticism comes from. What if everyone has a ch? What will WE do? Just as everyone's pain tolerance is different, our ways of coping and helping are different. What is good for one may be a hinderance to others. Although I am supposed to be this great source of compassion, with that compassion turn into fear? Will I be able to help people that are basically strangers. Will my husband want to run and hide under the table or in the bathtub like our dog during a thunderstorm? Who knows? Only time will tell.
You were lucky to have had Drummer there. After speaking with him yesterday, he seems like a "real peach" of a guy.
Take care and see you Saturday. Crossing my fingers everything will go without any "hitches".

P.S.--I'm sure all have heard and read this before...there is never a need to say "I'm sorry!" Personally, saying "thank you" to God and to those supporters who have helped you get through another ch is what's important. I say thank you everyday for all the good fortune I have had concerning chs. I wish everyone were as lucky as me.
