Hello everyone
Hello, This is my first day after my registration. I wanted to post a message to introduce myself. I live in NE Oklahoma, 'indian country' ;o) Im part Cherokee myself. Im also one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and was raised in the truth. I was happy to find this site, as I had an accident a few years back and injured my hip. I didnt know it was as bad as it turned out to be. It seems that when my hip was hit, it cracked the cartliage and now it has all disinigrated. My drs said I needed a hip replacement usualy reserved for older people. Here I am needing one myself, and have 3 children still at home. Go figure eh? So, I feel the added support and information I receive here will be very beneficial. Feel free to drop me a note, I will reply as soon as im able.
Thanks Anita

Welcome to the Site
Hi Anita,
Welcome to the site! You will definitely find a great deal of useful information as you face possible hip replacement surgery, which will help you feel better about the choices you must make. Even with difficult decisions, there can be peace of mind and a clear conscience when we really know what terms mean, how things really work, etc., so that our choices are not based on confusion or lack of knowledge or fear.
And you will learn a great deal more about so many things related to non-blood management of diseases and trauma that may be important to you or your loved ones in the future.
So again, welcome...this IS the best site on the web for accurate information and explanation of all things related to bloodless medicine and surgery.

Thank you Debbie for the warm welcome. Its good to know that people of the same minds and values can help each other out online with questions we have, and sharing information about bloodless surgerys, and some upbuilding encouragment. Its almost like sitting around after the Book Study, talking and being able to exchange information.
Thanks again, Anita Floyd

Hi Anita, nice to have you here.
My name is Jesus, and I am from San Diego, CA.
I'm one of the JWs too, and I can tell you this is the best place you can learn about this important matter.
The brothers of the HLC helped me three years ago, when I had to have a procedure where they said, some blood was required. All the information we gave to the physicians was enough to avoid blood, and now, since then, I have learn too many other things on this website.
I will recomend this site to everyone, especially to the doctors that are willing to learn more.
Greetings.
