Popular Post Kirby Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share #8 Posted July 23, 2020 We'd all prefer you go home with no problems, but based on my family experiences, this is a relatively routine procedure and one that can be extremely helpful. . Glad you took this seriously and were proactive about getting things checked before anything got too serious. I know your concerns about the home situation complicates this, but I'm glad they're looking after you too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
