Man, I feel so out of the network

I've been reading all of these posts for the "marchers." I just got my march date a few days ago, so I'm new into this group. But it sounds like you all have gotten to know each other very well. Have you all had your surgery dates for a long time then? What can I do to endear myself to you on such short notice? I can bow at the feet of all you soon to be thin hotties... I can show my enthusiasm for all of the milestones achieved... I can keep any ....errr....undesirable opinions about anyone to myself. I can negotiate a friendship contract to your benefit. Or I can just tell you all that this seems to be a wonderful and awesome group of people and I'm so glad there's such a great network for those having surgery this March. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all more.

Lee Ann... You're endeared! You're endeared! You had us after "I've been reading...". All the additional grovelling wasn't necessary (altho it was kinda interesting...). Nah, actually, I think most of us have only been hangin' out for about 3 or so weeks now. I think sociopaths are just kinda drawn to each other. We're QUITE the eclectic group. We're gonna get thru this experience together, probably with sore ribs from laughing... VERY VERY good to have you as a new Marcher. Check in with Virginia Herd on one of the "Surgery Date and Type" posts so she can get you on our Offishal Marcher List. It's gonna come in handy in the future, me thinks. Welcome!!!!

Thanks so much!! I'm going to look for a post by Virginia now to get on that list. What a great bunch of people! Have a great day.

Gosh, Lee Ann, er, you may rise now. I don't know these fun people either ,but I do enjoy reading their posts. I have surgery on the 8th of March at Emory University Hospital with Dr. C. Daniel Smith. Originally I was suppose to have it on January 28th--that's a lo-o-ong boring story. My doctor's office keeps trying to get me to a support group, but there doesn't seem to be one that meets around here (Peachtree City) so I use this form as my support group. It's kind of like going to a family reunion on your husband's side when you're first married. You don't know anybody or what they're talking about ,but you are definitely part of the group. Keep the faith-Jewell

Thanks, Jewell. Wow, what a beautiful name you have! And I must admit...I never REALLY got down on my knees. I was afraid I couldn't get back up!!! Lee Ann

Whoa, Jewell... ::twilight zone music in background:: I was s'posta have MY surgery on 1-28, too...long ANNOYING story. But I'm having it on March 9th now, day after you. Ooh...spooky! Welcome to the Marchers! You're ours now...there's no escape! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles Zero-minus-17 and counting!!

You are definitely in! Welcome to the Marchers. We are a diverse group, but we have a couple of things in common: None of us could get up if we got on our knees All of us plan to fix that SOON! We are glad to have you!!! Joy "Chief canary in charge" (3/1)
