Peer or group support in Lawrence area.

Hi, I joined here when I first started getting serious about surgery but haven't posted till now. I'm looking for a support group halfway local to Lawrence. There's one in Topeka but it conflicts with a long standing group meeting that I just can't get out of. My surgery is scheduled for July 31 and I'd love to have a few meetings under my belt before then, but what I'd really like is to have a peer support person..someone who's already been through the surgery and can speak to me honestly about what to expect. I've read just about everything I could find on the surgery but I just think it would help me so much to have more than that. The woman at Tall Grass Prairie in Topeka said that there is a meeting in Shawnee at the library but no one there seems to know anything and the email contact that they gave me didn't work. I've been thinking about starting a group locally but don't know how many would be interested Any ideas anyone?  I've added a few from Lawrence to my buddy list today...maybe I'll hear something back from someone there. Thanks! Robin

I would be happy to help you or answer any questions you may have.
