Hi Jaimee, I can't make tonight's meeting, but I have next month's on my calendar (2/7, right?). I have only been to one of their support meetings, but I kind of dread going back because the seating in the auditorium was too small for me. Do you know if they have any armless chairs for people who don't fit in the auditorium seats? It will be great to meet you sometime soon. I'm glad to read that you are getting your energy back. Talk to you soon. Hugs, Denise

Denise, would you be okay with sitting in a folding chair? I know they have a few of those hanging around. I would be happy to find one for you at the next meeting. I would hate to see the seating be a deterrant to you coming to the meeting. If you don't make it to that meeting, I am looking at starting an East side support group here in Reynoldsburg that would be open to anyone who is interested. I am working on logistics right now, but should have things up and running within a few months. Take care, Jaimee

Hi again, yeah, a folding chair would be better than getting bruised in one of the auditorium chairs! So I will ask about that at the next meeting. Although I live in the Northwest area, I'm always up for a drive, so I would be interested in attending the group you are trying to get going on the east side. I'll look for an announcement once you get it going. Thanks for your fast response and I'm looking forward to meeting you next month. Denise
