hi! I'm Emily!

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!

Nice to meet you Emily! I too did some time in Chicago too during college! Are the summer still crazy hot?

While we had an unusually mild summer up to this point, lately it's been really hot and muggy.  Ugh.  I much prefer the cold winter over hot, humid summer days!
