Northern Idaho

Hello Everyone, I haven't been on here much, but mostly on the march board, but I was wondering if there are many people on here from up this way? It would be so nice to have a support group around here. Thanks, Becky

Becky, I'm just getting started in this process too. I'm in the CDA area and the team up here at Pennings office is outstanding! There are a lot of people to get to know, but even email support or message board support is helpful too. Where are you in the process? I'd love to get to know you and talk about this wild journey. Angela

Becky, I live in Post Falls and am 7 1/2 weeks out. I also had Dr. Pennings. They are awesome. I'm sure we'll meet eventually but if you ever need anything just let me know. Janice

Hi Angela, Did you get my private email? Just curious cuz I haven't heard back)))) Smiles, Becky

Hi Becky, I'm scheduled for surgery early next month in Mexico. If you every hear of a local NO. Id. group I'd be interested. Mean while it is nice and comforting to see your message and it's replys. Alta

Good luck Alta! I sure worry about you going to Mexico, but I know people got to do what they got to do. Are you staying down there for awhile? I know I was readmitted to the hospital after discharge, so make sure you are safe okay? I don't have a support group, but would definitely like one. Some of the people I thought in the Lewiston area were getting one together, but still haven't heard of it. Smiles, Becky

Hi Back at you Becky, Thanks for answering. I know what you mean about Mexico! I've researched the MD and the services as much as I can without being there. The MD is listed and has a web site on the profressional list here. After care is a concern of mine too. But as to the hospital it is a 24 hour stay then 2 days of recovery time in a hotel near the MD's. So, I'm flying down to San Diego, then picked up by a driver, pre surgery physical and tests and if that's a go, surgery the next day. Home two days later back to CDL. Becky was there much discomfort or physical limitations after your surgery? Thanks, Alta

Hi Becky, how are you doing? Email me again... Hugs Wendy
