Debbi-she's more than welcome to come to the MD Weekend open house at my house. That way she'd get to know a bunch of us beforehand. Maybe you guys can come together and introduce her around.

Thanks Steph!! I've sent her a message about it but probably won't know until that day if she's feeling up to it. She'll be 11 days post-revision and hernia repair, but you never know!

I am a newbie and trying to decide on the conference. I know I want to go Saturday however, I am not so sure about Friday. I would have to take the day off work. (I am waiting for insurance approval for surgery in late June early July)

Can you tell me what to expect?

Friday is strictly the meet and greet in the evening. It's a lot of fun but I personally wouldn't take a day off work just for that. The conference is the main thing. There are a lot of breaks and times to meet people before, during and after. We'll all have name tags and i always tell new people-DON'T BE SHY. Sometimes people get their feelings hurt cuz the "veterans" don't talk to them. Most of us vets have know each other in person for 3-5 years and so when we get together it's a huge party. We don't mean to exclude newbies but we're so busy catching up with our friends, it might seem that way. So PLEASE walk up to any one of us and introduce yourself cuz before long, you too will be a vet!!
