Don't you dare take your leave from this site, you deserve to be here just as anyone else does. Yes, I was hurt by many comments because I do not understand why people want be so cruel. I have never been one to run from an honest discussion in my life or an honest fight. I agree with you Johnny in everything you said and you do not need to apologize, I wish more folks like you, Cixpax, tigertatt, whiterose, and others were as honest and would simply enter into honest discourse if there is a misunderstanding or offense. Human nature as it is, will always bring out the worst in people as it makes them feel better to have a cause to rise up against.

I commend you Johnny on your honesty and courage. Dave is right, you deserve to be here as does everyone. Please do not leave this group. Your opinions, ideas, and thoughts are valued. We are a support group and that is the operative word "Support". I only wish more people thought about why we are on this site. To lift people up, not bring them down.

Please don't leave Johnny I think it is very easy to misunderstand something that is posted.I hope what I posted in the other thread was clear on how I feel about it.I agree with what you said Johnny about someone joining who does not have a health problem and just wants to sell things.

OK. now NOBODY leave but the original person all this started. I beleive his name was BROMACK or something like that selling wheelchairs??? C'mon folks, nobody needs to leave except the "wheelchair salesman" who isn;t a amputee or associate of a amputee needing discussion ON TOPIC!!! Lets start some new threads on relavent stuff. If you are using a wheelchair and like it, ok, tell us. If you use herbal products and they solve a problem for you, tell us more!!! Lets just drop it, ok. Who is this Doug guy anyway, a moderator or owner of DS??? He probibly is not that involved in what we want or say, just advertising revenues on these sites. Sad but probibly true. So lets just police ourselves. Love to all!!!

hey don't leave man, what is a discussion group all about but discussing stuff.it's the opinions that count in here as we are all different but we all have a common cause here.even tho we all have suffered we are still among the living...so enjoy it all and don't sweat the small stuff

I AGREE, DON'T LEAVE! THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU BEFORE & AFTER YOUR SURGERY. DON'T TAKE THINGS LIKE THIS TO HEART. EVERYONE HAS OPINIONS & WE ALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEM. ITS OK, REALLY.
