It will be great if you are both at Rex. You will be on the 7th floor. I had two great nurses. Very friendly and helpful.

Topic: RE: Decisions

Actually I have been making better decisions for a few moths now. Quit smoking. No sugars, try not to buy processed JUNK, no caffiene, NO soda (not even sugar free ones), and I am exercising more. All that was done in ONE month (MARCH). I am going to be starting this C25K thing starting Monday and hopefully nothing stops me in my tracks to keep me from completing it.
Oh and I cut out negative Nessies as much as possbile, but sometimes there is one lurking we do not know about.

Topic: Newbie at the raleigh Support Group

My husband and I went to the Raleigh support group this morning and I am soooo glad I went. I met a lot of people, real people just like me, who have come through this surgery. It was good to hear from people who have stalled - and the encouragement they got from others. It was good to see some folks who just had the surgery as well as those who are years out. I am scared about the exercise part. Since I've never done it I am scared I won't be able to develop the habit. But there was a lot of reassurance, support and 'ben there' comments. And best of all...I got a free pair of pants from Alnita! Who knew?
My surgery is 13 days away - June 3rd. I feel better having met some folks in perosn and I thank the heavens for this OH forum!
Thanks to all who post as well as all who lurk.

Topic: RE: Pipe up for Saturday Roll Call

Took my sweet, furry mutt to get groomed. Decided to get her shaved as it was getting warm out and she is shedding like crazy. She looks so different shaved.....she is still adorable but it is funny how we look different once we shed our outsides.....a lesson for me as I am losing weight slowly but surely.

I do love my weekends!!!!

Have a great one!

Hello, Sylvan!
Which hospital are you at? I go in at 8:30 AM, for a 10:30 OR time. So, by the way, no problems in there, ok? I don't want to have to wait any longer!! :-) LOL. Of course, I'm just goofin' on ya!! :-) I hope to see you if we are at the same hospital!! Let's try to do that, ok?
Sorry you were rescheduled, too. Hang in there!!

Thanks, Barbara!!
Your kind words are a comfort. I'm pretty well "over" it. Just wasn't the right time--gotta trust that. I'm sure God has His reasons!!:-).

Topic: Pipe up for Saturday Roll Call

Hi all,

Another gorgeous day ahead and a busy one. Pipers meeting this morning, my first. I will take my whistle and see how it goes. Then, if I make it, the tale end of the support group meeting. Our neighbors have this big BBQ every year and it's today also. So, my day is quite full.

Yours?
