March 1, 1988 I had my surgery in Trinidad, Colorado. I'm a Biber girl. I was the second surgery he performed after he had recovered from a serious accident with one of his horses. I had waited 6 months for his recovery... was that every a tough one to sit out.
I've lived a lot of life since then. I'm grateful for every single day. I've learned to live again. I live my life to the fullest. I've seen life from "both sides." If I died today, I could honestly say that I've done everything that needed to be done, I've never left my loved ones without telling I love them, I have no major regrets.
Yes, there have been many problems, pain, obstacles, and family issues along the way. But I have refused to let these things interfere with my life and the happiness of my loved ones who share it with me.
I've had many successes and those are easily remembered. Financially, I've done better than I ever dreamed possible as a woman. I am very lucky indeed.
I feel honored to "know" my friends here. You have been wonderful. You have helped me in so many ways that you'll never know. I've learned so much from you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Here's to another year!
Chin up Cindi.... ;) ... and everyone else too!
Cindi
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDI!!!!!
Geez, you really are a veteran! I remember reading about Biber years ago and how he had "perfected" SRS. I recall seeing pictures of girls waiting for a consultation and how he was pretty much "it" when it came to SRS in the US. And I also remember thinking I would see him one day.
Happy Birthday Cindi and thanks for bringing back those memories.
Julie
Happy birthday! Many more joyful ones to you!
And I am truly honored to know you. I/we are very fortunate to be able to call you friend and to be able to share your stories, tales, advice, help, insight, and knowledge. You are truly a special girl - Happy birthday.

Happy birthday Cindi!
I guess I have to describe today as my birth birthday. I'm honored to share a day with you, even though yours means cerebrating a real birth.

Darn, I tried to intercept Laura's pie (I'm shameless when it comes to pie), but I missed. Which reminds me, I didn't get a cake today either. What a rip!
...So, what is the song we should sing for THAT birthday? >:D >:D >:D
Happy 'Birth' Day, Cindi! ;D ;D
