Good luck, Marie.  I'm not far behind you.  :-)   Terri

Congratulations!  Please keep us posted!!!

Hi Marie -

You've really done all the hard wor****il after surgery. Now just be sure to do a thorough bowel cleanse ... you can read my profile for why ... and try to relax. You are going to be in good hands and are in for the journey of a lifetime. If there is anything I can do to support you, please be sure to contact me.

Barb

P.S. Do you know if you are going to the support group meeting that's scheduled at Durham Regional in a couple of weeks? If so, I'll try to come and say hello.

 

That would be great!  I would be honored, and just so you know I have read your bio many, many times!  It has helped me tremendously as has the other bios on this message board.  I hope now that I will be home (I travel 80% with my job), I will have more time to work on my profile instead of just "lurking" all the time!  I will plan on meeting up with you (and any others) at the Durham meeting on Tues. Jan 22.   Thanks again everyone for the encouragement!  Take Care, Marie

Hi Marie,       I'm sure you will do great !  Lynn

Marie's gonna be a LOSER.... YAH!!! I'm sliding over for you too... I'll be thinking about you Thursday.   Advice... don't let your nerves get the best of you between now and then... keep your eye on the prize, especially in those first couple of weeks when you're SICK of broth, jello, et al.   Just come here and let us help get you through to the good part and that will help SO much. And get ready for  Sip Sip ~ Walk Walk ~ Sip Sip ~ Walk Walk... repeat after me.... Sip Sip ~ Walk Walk ~ Sip Sip ~ Walk Walk  LOL

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Marie!  We will certainly make room for you on the loser's bench.  I am looking forward to meeting you at the next MeetUp. Take care. Ellen
