Hi Ashley,

I had Dr. Smith too, and absolutely LOVED the people there!  I even sent a personal thank you to the nurses there, they were all wonderful!

I hope everything went well for your surgery. Please update us on how you're doing.

I'm sending prayers your way!

Is that Atomic Coffee in Dilworth?  I would be for that or even the McDonalds. (We don't have to eat Big Macs!).

That date should work for me. Are we thinking we like the venues we have been doing?  If so we could do something like Gooseberry park or Atomic Coffee in Moorhead.  Or we could go back to Moxie Java also.

Topic: July Coffee Clutch

Some of us in Fargo get together to visit and have fun.  It is very informal and informative.  We are looking at meeting in July.  We don't have a set day or time or place, but we have tended to meet on Thursday evening about 6:30.

We had a lot of fun last time and I learned a lot. 

Any suggestions on where we should have it?  I am inclined to look toward Moorhead only because we have a couple that live east of there.  It kind of breaks it up.

I am thinking July 22nd. 

Steve

Ashley,  I've been thinking about you and sending prayers your way.  I hope your surgery went smoothly and you are on the way to a healthier you.  There will be some days where you feel like what in the world have I done, but believe things get better and you will be happy you made the choice to get healthy.  I am now 5 pounds away from being normal, something I don't think I've ever been in any area of my life. The support groups are so important to go to and help you through this time.  Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

 Thank you!  I needed to read that this morning!  I'm about to get ready for the trip to the hospital, my surgery is scheduled today.  Hard to believe it's here already.  I've had a very restless night, not a lot of sleep.  Your words helped get rid of some of the anxiety.   :)  Most appreciated!

Good luck! 

I loved it there...everyone was soo nice and helpful and took care of you well.  I would definitely recommend Park Rapids to anyone.  I was lucky and didn't have any problems so maybe that was part of it, but everyone was really nice either way.

I had surgery in Park Rapids too, but with dr. Wroblewski.  The instructions were the same as the previous poster said.  I had asked about the "cleanser" too adn they said if they were working on the colon then that would be different,  so don't have to do that.  And if you still have questions, I had called the hospital and talked to a nurse there cause the clinic was closed on the weekends...and my surgery was on a Monday...and they were pretty helpful. 

Good luck!
