Hi! I'm Emily (she/her pronouns), and I've been lurking here for several months, reading quite a number of posts but never really saying anything myself.
I live in the Chicago metro area, so there are a lot of resources and plenty of support groups nearby. But I've still learned a lot from these forums, especially when it comes to various surgeries.
Thank you for making this such a great site with a wealth of information and support. I hope to join in some discussions and become a part of this community!
