Hi Mig,
that was so kind of you and hopefully she rang the number. its a horrible and isolating thing this bone shift with its cousins and relations in tow and that was a good thing you did.
shame she hasn't got as pc but the phone number will have helped her so much weather she rang it or not. Cris xx0 -
Yes, I do remember and well done to you, mig. That was defintely a good thing you did there, and how nice that you bumped into her again. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Dear Mig
Of course I remember your kind deed. You have truly helped someone and that is networking at its best. You must feel good in yourself too that you spread a little happiness into that person's life for taking the time to chat and encourage her to go back to her gp. It cost nothing but you both feel richer for it.
You are worth your weight in gold.

If there were more people around like you, the world would be a much better place. You probably feel as uplifted as this lady does. It works both ways. Carry on as you are, you will go far.

Hi Mig,
Well that is nice that you saw her again and you made all the difference for her. It was only when someone told me to go back to the doctors that I got things sorted so I know how grateful will be for meeting you.
Well done and a well deserved pat on the back for taking the time to talk to her in the first place.

well done mig for taking the time to speak to her in the first place. the fact she actually went to gp & was diagnosed with RA would neva have happened if it wasn't for you. Well done YOU and well done HER for listening.
You could've saved this lady from a disability...three cheers YOU!
Love, SB xx0 -
Hi Mig
Well done you.
And you got a report back which must be very satisfying.
I know thats the sort of thing we do when we have a stand.....so many people dont know about the helpline or about AC and we try to promote it...but we only have a stand once in a a while and never the same place so we dont know except for the questions we can answer on the spot.
I havent done it for a while....but our Metro Center is huge and i use my scooter and I always have a pile of cards with me.....people on scooters {here anyway} chat to each other or even on crutches so when chatting I try to find out what it is and give them a card
So once again...well done you
Love

Mig, how proud of yourself must you feel
Not only the fact that this lady got a result and is now being ttreated for ra due to your advice but also the fact that she recognized you and gave you thanks.
Well done, I am proud for you
