Support from forums
I dont know where I would be without the support. I met my best friend in a back support group. Although we dont live closeby, we talk on the phone at least two times a week, offering support, humor and love. She can totally underatand when Im having a rough day, get good or bad news. Our friendship transcends pain but the ability to know I am understood and have someone to talk to when Im scared is an amazing gift from the internet.
