Is it possible to have an Oregon support group over the web or phone?
I think they only allow their own patients though, true? I know five years ago, there were a bunch of us who had surgery in Portland, and we were not allowed.

I think this is a great idea. Though, I have great support at home, I would love to be in a group with people who know what I am actually experiencing. I live in Independence, OR. I look forward to hearing from everyone.

2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

Hi OH members!! I am looking to gather a group of us to help support one another whether or not you have had surgery. It's important and less formal outside of the doctors office. All though they know what they are doing, not all of them know what we go through before and after. If you are interested PLEASE let me know so that something can be organized. I would like to do it on a regular basis but it all depends on how many are interested. Years of being anti social has left me with no friends to share this experience with so I would like to reconnect with the world!! Looking forward to meeting new friends!!
Ginamarie... PS.. I live in Oregon City but am willing to create something central for other local members. We can make it work!!
