Yes, keepontruckin....I believe that's true. I know (because I'm one of them) that people born with congenital defects normally have quite a few that may not be known about for many years. Why? Well, if one thing's wrong, chances are greater that another will follow. I don't actively look for them, only if they cause me real problems, but they've had plenty of time to make themselves known...and many have.

Believe it or not, it's no great surprise...discouraging at times, yes, but then we find the help we need. I hope you're well yourself. Yours, Lenora.
