Thanks, Tami :)
 
At this point, I don't care what people say about it so long as they're saying *something*.  My skin is pretty thick. Buffalo tends to be a pretty complacent area in a lot of regards - and although our c/s rate is lower then the national and I think state average, and although it even went down from 2003 to 2004, not enough people know, and not enough people are talking about it.
 
Now, bring up the Buffalo Sabres hockey playoff game of '99 (known despondently around these parts as the "no goal" incident), or the four consecutive Buffalo Bill's SuperBowl losses, and people STILL get riled up...
 
Case in point, despite a spike in hits on my website in the days immediately after the article ran, only one woman has inquired. 
 
But she said she's read my article over and over again because it helps her know that "the crazy feelings" she's been having are normal in the context of her c/s, which she had a little over a month ago.
 
I'd love more, but I'm pretty happy that at least one person who needed to hear it got the message...

Rachel -- thank you for sharing these -- and thank you for opening yourself up to such comments. I can imagine it can be challenging to have such comments coming in as the last one you shared. We do need to have this dialogue going that's for sure. Unfortunately the importance of our experiences and how they effect our children (and therefore so many other things!) are continually underestimated and this woman that commented "do we need a support group for every disappointment" is a perfect example of that. And the round head comment -- blech.
 
Hugs,
Tami
