MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

I Am 2 Weeks Away From My Surgury... I Am Extremly Nervous, But I Know It's For The Better Good Of My Life, And My Health. I've Been Going Threw This Journey For Almost A Year And I'm Finally Ready!!!

I've Really Been Educated On What To Expect, But A Co-Worker Told Me To Try A Support Site Because It Will Help Me To Know I'm Not Alone When I Go Threw The Healing Stages.

I Look Forward To Talking To Everyone And Getting Advice Based On Your Experiences!!!

Hi, and welcome to the group. It's nice to see new members.

You have lots if information here on this site, read some of the old posts and the articles and diary entries too. We all have similar issues after surgery and some are lucky, and have few problems and sail through it, others have more issues and need more help.

You lose a lot of weight, usually it will start slowly but then it builds up, and soon, you will be amazed at how quickly it will come off Smile

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask. We're all a friendly bunch Smile
