PAULA BOYZCUK-GREEN, Facebook Administrator
When I was told that I needed to have surgery done, I was terrified. I didn't know that there was an organization like Saskatchewan Epilepsy, but when I found them, two of the members were there to help me feel more comfortable, just knowing that other people had gone through the same or similar operations. They made me feel more secure and confident.
I have found that being a part of the board is very rewarding and makes me glad that I can pass on a bit of the kind of help that was passed on to me.
