coffee

Hello-   I would love to attend one of the coffee sessions on a weekend.  I live in Winona so I'd like something EASY to find-  I see the surgeon for the first time on Wednesday and I am hoping he gives me the ok-  then of course it's the wait and see from the insurance company.   Also, do any hubbies attend the "clutch"? Or would there be a place for him to sit and eat???
Thanks  Jan

Jan.....People post about when and where the coffees will be. Jus****ch the board. If you need help someone can always direct you there. Just ask!!

I look forward to gettting to know you better. Good luck on your journey!!

Hugs, connie d

Thank you Connie-  I just assumed there was a meeting every Saturday.   Tomorrow's the big day for me.  Talk to my surgeon- whom I have never met before.  I am afraid my age of 59 will be against me.   Right this moment, I am 50/50 on having the surgery.  I want to feel so much better, look so much better, but CAN I give  up my life line-  food????   Will my hubby really be happy with me not eating with him, etc.  Did you ever have these questions? 

Hugs back at ya-  Jan

Jan....your age is not against you. I had my surgery almost a year ago and I was 58!!!
I eat just about anything. I, by choice do not eat rice, pasta or bread. Many others do with no problem. I just prefer more protein and veggies.It takes a little while but you get those foods back that you miss out of for a time. You just can't eat as much.
I have never been sick or had any problems since I had this surgery.
I feel so much better. I can run up and down stairs. I can walk for miles and dance the night away. I ride bike with my grandchildren, go down slides, and play on the jungle gyms. There isn't anything I can't do.
If I didn't have this surgery I was headed for a wheelchair in a few months. I was in alot of pain. I am almost pain free. My high blood pressure is gone as is my acid reflux and Diabetes.
Would I do this again...you bet I would in a heartbeat!!
Do you go on the Over Fifty Forum??? I really enjoy it there too.The people are great.  These two boards are the only ones I do now.
PM me anytime if you would like.
I wish you the very best making the right decision for you.

Hugs....connie d

You do NOT look your age Connie-   Where is the over 50 board?  I am not to sure on this board, as you can see I have no picture, nothing.  When it comes to signing up on stuff like this, I don't really know how.  Guess I will have to investigate.  Thanks again for your encouragement.  Right now, I need it.

Hugs back. Jan

Well thank you, I will have to check that out Connie.  I appreciate the help.  I do data entry, accounts payable, etc., but not a die-hard board 'surfer' type person.  So I am not familiar with all the things that can be done on here -  YET!!!!   Thanks again.   hugs.  Jan

Hubbies are always welcome -- it is important for them to see how our gatherings help each other.  Keep you eyes on the board == if you find a coffee you would like to go to, the address is usually given so you can mapquest to the spot.

That is what I needed to know.  I think if he attended the gatherings, he'd understand more than just the WIFE telling him-  haha.
Thank you for your reply

Jan
