I started going to Dr. White's support group two months before my surgery in October and still continue to go.  I think it is very informative to listen to other people in the same situation.  You get a lot of good information/suggestions/advice from the group.  Dr. White's wife, Mary, is the support group leader and she is just great.  She also schedules speakers every few months.  I've also found that either Dr. White himself or his program coordinator often drop in unannounced and always take the time to answer questions.  They meet the first Wednesday of the month at Immanuel's Holling Center at 7:00 or the first Monday of the month at 7:00 at Lakeside Hospital.

Do you go to your surgeon's support groups?  Do you find it helpful.  What's your thoughts on them?  Do you prefer them or any of the support groups from here (as in from the support groups link above)?

Jennie, make sure you check out Dr. Anthone in Omaha and the DS, it will be worth your time to be sure you know all of your options.

Awhile back I posted about loseing my best friend.  I was hurt and sad and miserable about it, but things do change if you are willing to let them.  My friend and I are back together again, and the feud is over thank God.  My friend and I spent today together and did girl things, and had a ball.  Friend, I know you will read this.  You are the best and I am so glad to have you back.  I am so sorry for my part in this feud, and for much of what I said to you.  Thank-you for being my friend.     Hazel
