Topic: RE: Travelling 3 weeks after surgery - Need advice

There are so many restrictions these days as to what we can take with us on flights -- my suggestion is to talk to your surgeon's nutritionist and see what he/she suggests based on the time frame after surgery, taking into account the restriction on liquids, etc. I wish I could be more help -- there are just so many variables because of all of the security restrictions.

Congrats on the upcoming surgery! :)

Topic: Thursday back on track check in

Hello all!! Well I hit the grocery store last night to get prepared for the weekend. I was ready to go off on people by the time I got done. It was a mad house. Enjoyed some quality snuggle time with my hubby and then we went to bed. Nothing planned for tonight. I believe we are only getting one girlie tonight as the other has asked to go to a friends house. At least that means it will be a bit quieter. Gotta talk to the boss today about what our procedure for tomorrow will be in case the weather gets bad before closing time. I see long walks in the snow, fireplace snuggling, and shoveling in my future. Have a great day!!

Protein would be a good thing. The vials always travel well.

Please watch Grey's Anatomy tonight. My friend's son will be Chandra's Wilson's new love interest. His real name is Jason George.

He was the love interest of Eve on Eve's show and also played in Barbershop.

Topic: Travelling 3 weeks after surgery - Need advice

Hi, I'm scheduled to have my surgery on 3/4/10 and will be travelling by plane to Chicago from Virginia three weeks after surgery. My doc. has already approved the trip, granted I get up and walk around and do leg exercises to prevent clots. My question is, what food will I be able to eat at the airport? For example, what if my flight is delayed for hours and I am stuck at the airport and get hungry. Someone suggested I bring baby food along in my carry-on, but I wonder would I be allowed to bring that since I'm not travelling with a baby and I know that the airlines are strict about what you can and can't bring on a flight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Heather
P.S. I posted this on the Realize board, too, but figured I'd get more feedback if I posted this on several boards. Thanks!

Topic: RE: Support Groups in Alexandria VA?

Welcome to the area, Becky!

The support group that comes to mind that may work well for you is the one at Potomac Hospital. It is the first Thursday of each month in the Education Center (behind the hospital, lower floor) and runs from 6:30 - 8:00 PM.

There is also another support group in Fredericksburg on the second Wednesday of each month at the Free Lance Star Building in old town Fredericksburg. It is from 7:00 -8:30 PM.

I hope this is a help! :)
