OH seminar

 Post Date: 10/4/08 4:19 pm 
 Well I just walked in the door and I wanted to tell you all that if you ever have an opportunity to attend an OH conference  - you must go.  I had a wonderful day meeting so many of the people that I met on this site and it was an informative/fun day.  The highlights of my day were meeting "Ramon" and "egg-face" and the presentation on dressing for our shrinking bodies. The plastic surgery seminar was a ton of info for the future..... We connected with each other at lunch and I made many new friends...~... It was a great day - check the site and see if there is someting coming up in your area.  I feel totally motivated and inspired.......

Im a PA person but was checking out your NJ board and wanted to quick say thanks to a number of you Jersey folk who I met today and enjoyed conversing with at the OH event in Conshohocken. It was a great day and pleasure to meet you all.

dawg.
I was trying to find you yesterday, but I didn't know your real name.  I didn't like that  we should have all put our OH names on our tag.  I went up to one guy who I thought was you and asked him and guess what , It wasn't you. After that Iwasn't so brave to ask each guy there if it was you.  Ha Ha

Glad you had a good day.  I did too. being someone who did not have surgery yet, it was great to meeet a whole room full of people who had.  Wow, what a wonderful group of people.

Hope to meet soon.

I also had fun, loved meeting everyone.
Michele and Beth were fabulous.
A great day.

Hi Karen, it was good to meet  you and talk in person, too.  Just got back home myself, I took a "shopping detour" on the way home.  Scroll down and read Nannette's post about OCWLS Support group -- it lists all the dates for the rest of this year.  Hope to see you there!

Regards,

Michele

P.S.:  there is also a support group that meets at Monmouth Medical center which you may like to try attending as well.
