Always lovely to hear from you Susan. It is very refreshing to hear from people like " Practising Premie " but I fear that they are a Lone Cowboy/Girl , more's the pity . Also thankyou for reposting the "Open Letter" ...as time passes and the conditioning starts to fall away I find I am able to understand things better ( I had read the letter , I think on EPO, before and hadn't fully understood.) As it was written in 2000 I wonder if it now needs a little updating and re-sending  ??

Lastly , I'd like to thank you for your kind and helpful posts on this forum .One of which I removed from my own "special forum posts " file yesterday and re-read because it's full of warmth and helpful. I will repost  it via the link below for anyone newly exiting or thinking about it.
