I met a new friend from OH

A few weeks ago I received an email from a wonderful lady who lives in Durant, who has had lapband.  We have corresponded by email daily since then.  As is so happens, we  only live a few blocks from each other, and last night I invited her to go with me to the pool for water aerobics.  We had the best time chatting, and working out together.  I am so excited to meet someone who, like me, is a teacher, and has has WLS, she understands some of the things I am going through.  It's nice to have someone close by to bounce ideas off of, even if our surgeries were different. 

This is such a great place!

Hugs,

Oh, Marsha, I love to hear things like this! Enjoy your newfound friend. :)
Blessings,

That is so exciting!  I would love to have an OH buddy who lived in Harrah.  It would be nice to have someone to walk with in the evenings and bounce things off of.  I do have my wonderful support group in Edmond but you live to far to take advantage of that very often.  I'm thrilled for you!!!

Debbie,

It does feel good to have someone close by.  My friend that lives next door has had VBG, and she has been great for support, but she's so far out, that we're totally not on the same page now.  I do wish I were closer to Edmond so I could attend the support group meetings regularly.  I have thought about trying to get one started in Durant, but really don't know if I have time to take on that kind of commitment, or really how to do it.  I will be attending (if nothing happens) the support group meeting in Edmond during Spring Break, which will be two weeks from now, so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hugs,
Marsha

Marsha that is great. I am glad that you have found support close to home!

That is so neat!

That is cool Marsha!  I too wish Edmond was closer to me.  Even if it was an hour away, that'd be nice.  I love my little town, but it'd sure be nice to be closer to the city conveniences!
