Orphans?

Hey everyone. Does anyone else feel like an orphan since Dr D is leaving?I do. I feel the whole backbone is crumbling. I dont even think I want to keep my last appointment. I know that sounds really bad. Does anyone know if we are having another meeting anywhere? How did Jen do with having the baby? What has everyone been doing? I have had a hard time being a MORON again. But I am being better/ No bag of hershey kisses. I have been exercising and feeling better. Lets all keep in touch. Chris

Hey Chris! I already had my last appointment jan. 11. I was a little brain dead and forgot to ask him about the meetings. Jen was MIA, but she called me to remind me about the appointment. I didn't get a chance to talk to her, but I'm guessing that she's doing some work at home so she can stay with the baby. I haven't heard anything about how she is doing. I feel so out of the loop. I have some clothes for you, chica. I put them aside for you a while ago, so hopefully they will fit you.....at least for a little while. Maybe I can meet you for lunch at work later this week and I can drop them off to you. I should be free Thurs. or Friday. Let me know what's good. I'll ttyl.

I had my last appointment last Thursday, It was tough and didn't feel the same without Jen there and knowing it was the last. I know how you are feeling about being an orphan. Even though I am just about 3 years out and maintaining, I still liked knowing he was there in an emergency.

Hey Chris GO FOR YOUR LAST APPT!!! It's important to do that...it'll give you closure with Dr. D and you'll get to say your good-byes. I see him on the 23rd for my 1 yr. follow up...it's going to be a VERY sad day. I think the hospital is handling this VERY POORLY. I don't know what the big deal is about continuing our groups but they are making it seem like we are asking for the world. Keep in touch kiddo. STEP AWAY FROM THE KISSES!!! Hugs, Judy

Hi Everyone! I saw Dr. Drinkwater this morning and with my emotions running high, and fighting back the tears, I forgot to ask him about the meetings! I wrapped his lab coat with our signatures and gave it to him. He was so surprised. He said he was honored, and he would hang it in his new office with pride. He was very touched, as was I, by his reaction. love, Kym

I can relate I feel so lost.I saw Dr D for the last time I was very teary eyed.I feel like I have no home.I am so lost on what to do next or where to go.....Kara
