new here- Conshohocken PA
Hi Dawn Welcome to the support forum of PA, it's a great group of people, even some of us from NJ post here due to the activity of many people on here, there are people from as far out as 5 years, maybe even more, to people who are just considering the surgery, so jump in and immerse yourself in knowledge, there is lots to be had and I know when I started this journey, I never dreamed of the life I'm living now, nor the wonderful people I've met as a result of this. There are also some support groups that meet in people's homes, as well as the ones you will find affiliated with the place you are having your surgery. Also, if Langhorne is doable for you, the meetings held at Barix are open to anyone looking for support, pre-op meeting is the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m., post-op meeting is the 3rd Wednesday at 7 p.m., generally these meetings last until 8:30/9 p.m.
Good luck as you make your transisition to the loser's bench.

Welcome, Dawn!!!! It's always nice to see new faces. This is a great place to meet people and to ask anything your little heart desires. Someone will always have an answer for you. So how is Conshy these days?? I grew up in East Falls and went to Roxborough High School, so I'm familiar with Conshohocken. Best of luck to you on the 24th. We'll be thinking of you. Take care and welcome!!
