There was so little time to be able to say all that I wanted to.  We arrived home safely (after 10 hours in the airport!!).  I had a lot of time to think about the last 10 days of my life.  It has been an amazing journey from start to finish.  I knew I had the right Dr. when i came in to see you last September...and you know when you know!  Many people asked me before I left why on earth would I go all the way to PA to have this done and I always told them that I wanted the best and I wasn't settling for any thing less than that.  They would ask me..'how do you know he's the best?" and I would tell them "because I did my homework...and I just know."  Now I have the proof to show them.  As I look at the days ahead,  I am excited.  I am walking forward in renewed confidence of who I am.  And that, Dr. Hurwitz, has so much to do with you. I am grateful for the team you had assembled to do this huge work and I wish I could thank every one of them in person...I know you trust them and they may have had the same results with or without you. BUT...  It was me KNOWING  you were heading up that team that helped me to walk through it peacefully and successfully.  Tina Lillie
