Yes Mayo Clinic wanted to do that years ago
and I ran from them after seeing the gory pictures
and the recovery time from such surgery. Hence I
was so thrilled to give NA a try. At least the
recovery down time is near zero. The results from
so many others have been spectacular trying NA,
and I was delighted to have given it a try.

Sean, Fasciectomy has *got* to be your favorite word.

Charlie is terrific, he did NA on my right hand in May '04! However, I'm in Los Angeles and would like to avoid 5 hours each way in the air... so I'm going to see Dr. Denkler on the 14th. Here's the link:

Susie,

Congrats!..........

Most of us who have had NA feel the same way you do. Though not a magic bullet, NA needs to be recognized as the proper first line of defense before OS is performed. We should *not* continue to be the "Fortunate" or "lucky ones" to know this. We all need to be activists so "luck" has nothing to do with it. Every CHS in North American should either do this procedure or refer it out to someone else who does *before* doing OS.

We still have a long way to go before *none* of us feels Fortunate! This should be just normal. That's the goal here.

Hi ALAN,
