New to Iowa

Hello everyone i'm new to Iowa just moved here from Norfolk Virginia. I'm currently just learning about the surgery. I really hope to get it done though. I just moved here like a week ago so I don't even have a regular doctor yet. But I hope to meet some people here and make some friends. DeeDee

Welcome! Sorry we haven't had much sunny weather for you. You will have to come to the Genesis support group. They are a nice bunch of people. It meets every third Wednesday...I think. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I can never remember and always end up calling to see when it is.

Welcome Dee Dee. I have never been to Virginia but hear it is beautiful. Hope to get there someday. Good luck getting settled. Hopefully you have brought the warmer weather with you! Jan Marie

Welcome to the tall corn state! The board is a little slow right now, but the natives are friendly. I've been to Virginia and you really can't see the forest for the trees! Wonderful state, so rich in history. It made me humble to think I was walking where the great founding fathers walked. I loved Monticello. While we were in Williamsburg, we were sitting in our car, it was raining, and we were looking at a map trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B. A pizza delivery guy asked if he could help. He told us to just remember that Williamsburg was laid out by a drunk Frenchman. We got soooo lost there! But it was a great vacation. We might not have the history in Iowa, but we have great, friendly people. If you need help, someone will be there. So welcome! Lyn

I know the weather here hasn't been that great it's kinda makin me depressed I'm use to it being really sunny and warm but it's been really gloomy here. hopefully it will get better soon. I lived in virginia for about 4 years my husband just recently got out of the Navy, and got a job at Alcoa so hopefully that goes well. Hopefully the insurance that we will get through there will cover the surgery. People here seem pretty nice i'm use to the city and people not being so nice but i'll get use to it. but thanks for responding talk to you later. deedee
