I have found it very intriguing that there have been two kinds of responses the surgery issue. One group has unending questions and wants to know every detail, while the other remains quiet and almost dissapproving. I have not told many people of my decision. My family, and very close friends know what this journey means to me. I have found that my family and friends tell and discuss the surgery with others, increasing my circle. I am not opposed to others knowing, I just don't put my "stuff" out there as a normal course of action.
