Hi there Ann, I just wanted to drop a line and say hi there. I moved to Syracuse from Caledonia last year. I lived in Caledonia, and my daughter was in the Avon school district for 7 years. So from that neck of the woods. I know that there is also a yahoo group for western NY. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/WLSnetworkofwesternNY/ Try that one out. Where are you having/had your surgery? Molly
