OH Conference-who's going?

Howdy from Texas...Just wanted to make sure you guys knew there is going to be a OH conference in Houston in November.  Last year I met several people from LA who honored us with their presence and I'm hoping many more of you come this year.  It really is a blast and very affordable.  So gather up some girlfriends and hit the road, we'd love to see you there.  We often put 4 people in a room which makes the hotel cheap too.

For anyone that's interested, there are several support group leaders on the Texas board that have discount codes where you can attend for $35 instead of $60.  Just come over to our State board and look at some posts cuz people have them in their signature line.  (I'm not one of them-I have no vested interest in the conference-I just like to meet new people). 

Anyway, here's the link and if you have any questions, give me a shout.  The conference is great for pre-ops, newbies as well as old-timers that need motivation.  Hope to see you there!!

Thank you so much I live about 2 hours from houston. I would like to go.but I would like to stay with my husband in a hotel.

Lots of spouses come so bring him and enjoy a weekend away. 

I want to but I just cant. I mean i probably could but mentally cant.

I am still dealing with the guild over my dad dying last year. My mom and I were 40 miles out side of Dallas going to the confrnece last year when my brother called and we could hear the paramedics on the speaker phone shocking him. He died right there and even though I KNOW it isnt my fault ......i still feel that i robbed my mom of her husband. if she had been there maybe he would still be here (she is a nurse). I just could not make myself go this year. Since last year I have not posted here hardly at all. I hope everyone has fun.

I am sorry for your loss.  I wish I could go but I am sure that my surgery is going to be right around that same time and not sure that I should plan on going.  Please don't beat yourself up over not being there for you dad. Sometimes thing happen for a reason. I lost two close family members last year with in a month and half.  My grandmother called me and asked me if I could come and help her with some paper work for my uncle that had just past. It was Sunday and I told her I would come the next day because there was nothing I could do on Sunday because they were closed. That was at 1pm. She laid down for a nap and never woke up. That was five days before Christmas. I thought time and time again that if I had of went over there, she would not have laid down for a nap and I would have been there and maybe she would not have died. But I cant change things and being there may not have changed anything. She may have just died there in front of me. I might have blamed my self for not being able to save her in person. There will always be maybe's and what ifs. I just had to accept that I had lost her. I miss her greatly and cherish the memories I do have her and cry at least once a week from missing her. But I cant let it stop me from doing what I need to do. She would want me to continue to better my life and have my surgery and also get the support that I need to be successful.  Your dad is smiling down at you wanting the best for you. Good luck in your journey and I hope that the pain gets better for you...Sherri
