Ok, I stopped crying

Some of you responded to my post about not being able to come to the meeting this coming Wednesday - I was pretty bummed to say the least. Well - I have two awesome friends at work.  One of them heard me complaining and actually offered to cover my shift Wednesday night - and the other one - well he's a perdiem and he was complaining that he wasn't being given enough time on this schedule, so being the oh so generous person I am (lol) I gladly offered him my Tuesday night shift - so I get 3 days off in a row (M-W), I get to sleep like a normal person before the meeting, AND I get to go to the meeting and not be pressed for time needing to leave. I'm a happy girl. Pam

Just goes to show you a little whining can go a long way!! Glad you're getting the time off. I actually thought I'd be able to make this meeting until I remembered I have an out of town meeting with work.  I swear I'll get there one of these days. Kathy

woohoo, yay, glad you can make it,  this will be my first time at the post op meeting, i'm a little intimidated.  

Kimmie, It can be sooo intimidating walking into those meetings.  I was very active on these boards before hand - and my first post op meeting - well - if it wasn't for hubby coming with me, I probably wouldn't have walked in.  Now - I can't wait to go! I'll probably be wearing blue jeans and a yellow t shirt.  Hubby will be with me.  Feel free to come and sit down by us or if I spot you, I'll come grab you.  Dennis is awesome at meeting and greeting people - especially those new to our group. Pam

Hey Pam,        I like your new pic. Isnt nice when theres pool people around. I am coming to the meeting but I am ashamed to say it will be the second time that I ever came.  The first time was a year ago. There were so many people there that I never went back b/c of the large crowd. So I am planning to come. After the pilgrimage I am more relaxed.   Alice

Thanks! It's a HUGE group - in fact that has been a topic of discussion in some of the smaller "after meetings" when all of us are gabbing away in our little groups - that how big and "not intimate" it is when it used to be something different.  Support is support, however.  Be happy to see you there - and you don't have to be ashamed of not coming much before - always welcome! Pam

Hooooooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now get those intestines or whatever of yours on track and come with your ramblings! Pam

Yay, glad you can make it!

Pam, so glad you are going tomorrow night! It will be my first post-op meeting and I can't wait to meet you and everyone else :).........Stefanie
