Hi Rose - So glad that you all will be joining our Greater CT Walk! Sorry that your Fairfield walk didn't get off the ground but we're glad that you and the Fairfield crew will be joining us and making the Greater CT walk even bigger and better! FYI to everyone - the raffle tickets for the walk have arrived - if interested drop me an email or stop by my support group at St Raphael's Thurs 8/24 or Thurs 9/28 at 6pm. Again - welcome Rose and all from the Fairfield group. Hugs, Carla

Carla, Could you please email me the registration form? I can't do much these days, but I can walk. As long as I don't have surgery on my shoulder, I should be able to make the walk. I miss my OH friends. Maggie

Maggie!!! How've you been??? Long time no see. Hope you are doing well - what's up with the shoulder??? Well, I certainly hope you can make the walk - would be great to see you! Registration is online - just go to walkfromobesity.com and navigate to our walk (Greater CT walk) and follow screens for registering. You can also have people pledge you right online this year as well. If the online registration isn't working or you prefer to mail it - you can print the form right from the site. Let me know if you have any trouble with it. Take care!! Hugs, Carla

I'm doing much better Carla, thanks for asking. It appears that I have a tear in my rotator cuff, a bucket tear and osteochondritis in my right shoulder. It's frozen now as well because it's been going on now for six months. Very painful. One of these days I'm really going to be able to enjoy my wls and just feel good. LOL... Mike and I are really going to try and make it for the walk and to see all of you. Thanks for the information. Maggie

Hey Maggie, Great to see you on Ct message Board!!! You are in my mind once a while! Sorry to hear about your shoulder but hope Mike and you can make on Walk for Obesity. Take care of your shoulder. Email me if you need me to come over to visit so WE can get together with Terri and Nancy K to chat Hugs Kathy K

Kathy, It would be great to get together with everyone and anyone who wants to. I'm pretty mobile and can get out. I'd invite everyone here, but I can't do much housework and my house is not really acceptable for company. Mike is a wonderful husband, but we have two very diffrent ideas about what clean is. Maggie

Hi Bridgeport/Fairfield Gangs I am glad to hear all of you will come to Madison to join the rest of us and it will be more fun with alot of people there. Looking forward to meet the rest of you . Bob M Are you going to dress up clown to go walk there or just exercise outfit Take care Kathy K

Hi Maggie...I have a torn rotator cuff as welll...2 yrs ago I had the frozen shoulder and wow was it painfull.....make sure your dr. gets you to therapy....that is what got my shoulder better...I am now careful what I pick up and how heavy, but no surgery....hope you can make the walk...Rose

Hi Rosemarie I am in physical therapy three times a week now. I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I go on Sept. 12 for a second opinion. I'm hoping to be able to avoid surgery, but it's not looking to good. It is very painful. The worse is trying to sleep. Any ideas on how to get comfortable at bedtime? Maggie
