I don't think I would have overreacted like that.  I would have taken it for what it is -  a young person trying to assert authority while a corporate manager was there.  You may have gotten a different reaction if you would have said okay, and then asked the next day when corporate wasn't there.  He was, after all, trying to enforce rules while his bosses' boss was there - even if you felt the rule was sketchy. 

Barix has support groups on the 1st Saturday, 2nd Tuesday and 3rd Wednesday of each month.  I believe that the evening meetings begin at 7 PM and the Saturday meetings begin at 11 AM.  Try the Barix message board to see if you can connect with anyone.  This board was a lot more active when I had my surgery 5 years ago but has really died out the last 18 months.  Even though I no longer attend the support groups I found them to be very helpful during my first 3 years of recover.  Best of luck with your surgery.  Your surgeon is one of the best.  He operated on my sister 2.5 years ago and she is doing great.  Take care.

Wrong date and I can't figure out how to fix it!  (not that anyone's around to read it anyway!)

Barix support group meets this Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.  Please come check out our new format.  This month's topics include:

What you can do now that you couldn't or wouldn't do before surgery.
Family involvement on a healthy lifestyle after surgery.
Protein powders.
Ongoing education for post-ops out to one year.

Come for all or part of the meeting, to get and give the support we all need. 

Hi Jill,

     I am no longer attending the Barix support group meetings.  I don't know if that is permanent or not.  For right now it's not where my recovery is.  I am grateful for all the people and support that I received from Barix during these past 5 years but for right now I need to step away.  Hope that all is well with you, your job and your family.  Take care.

Donna
