Great Time
Well--here it is almost Sunday..I have been uploading the pictures from the party tonight. I need to ask about a free access site that is easy to use next time. Anyway...it was wonderful seeing all of you. I consider you all family--there has been such an immediate bond--you'll never begin to know how much you all mean to me! Thank you Lisa for planning this-I know things have been hard for you lately. My son commented how "hot" you and Anahid looked! Phyllis it was fun doing nametags with you. Deb M. you look even better than the last time I saw you--your energy and enthusiaum are contageous! Kathy K. it wasn't hard to tell you were on cloud 9--so pleased with your surgery! Tara-my angel-I am glad you are feeling betteryou skinny thing! It was great to see Cheryl K again and finally meet sweet Darlene. My angelette Debby M.-- hang in there kiddo-your day is coming soon. Kathy B.-the yankee swap was great...a great way to get to know one another better. By the way0 I love my necklace Carolyn! Anahid and Lisa--having us all get up and talk was a wonderful idea--it was great to hear the voices we "see" everyday. Everyone talked with such emotion--we all feel the same way....our lives have changed since we have been a part of this experience...all in a positive way! You are a group of amazing people..I am fortunate to have gotten to know you and I hope to get to know you all better in the future. Here is the site with my pictures: http://www.picjar.com/pub/JONILIZ2/CT_OH_HOLIDAY_PARTY_2004/
If you see the picture you want to use for your OH prorfile...just right click on it and save it. I usually send mine to the OH photo help people. Can anyone tell me how to add a new picture to my profile myself??
With much love and friendship

Thanks for sharing the pictures Joanie, they are great. You look fantastic. That turquoise is a great color for you. Everyone looks great and looks like a good time was had by all. Once again I had to miss out. Someday I'll get to meet all my OH heros.
Hugs

P.S.- I use Ofoto.com to host my pics
it's free and you can order prints from there if you want

I LOVED the pictures! I wish I could have been there myself! But that wouldn't have worked out. I'm still trying to get used to my tiny new pouch. I think I drank my protein drink too fast yesterday. I felt crummy all night. Runny mouth, kept feeling like I was going to vomit, but nothing actually came up.
I was there in spirit - and thank you SO MUCH for sharing!!

Hi Tammy
Yep I am morning person and everybody is still sleeping. I finished excerise my bike for 30 min before I used this pc. I am glad you are on losing side and glad your ex husband did not bother you while you are at hospital and now he knows you are still alive! Please sip not drink because it will hurt your chest. Just sip all day and get used it. I am going to post op meeting at middletown on Dec 7th at 700 pm and hope to see you there. Take care and relax!
Hugs

Hi Kathy! Thanks for your advice. I'm sip, sip, sipping and having a MUCH better day. I just walked on my treadmill for a bit - so I'm raring to go. ;) I feel so relieved and happy to be on the mend. I want to keep things going as good as possible!
You can count me in for the Middletown meeting on the 7th. I may make it the week before too.
Catch ya later!
