Guest guest Posted June 18, 2000 Report Share Posted June 18, 2000 , I wish you all the very, very best. You are doing a great thing for yourself. Two things. First.... tomorrow night we are having our monthly support group meeting.... from 7.30 pm at the South Yarra Primary School, Punt Rd. between Commercial and Toorak Rds. If you can possibly get there we would love to meet you and give you some tips and some moral support. Second.... would you like to be visited by an old-timer or two while you're in the hospital? I'd be more than happy to pop in if you're interested. (Are you being done at the Avenue?) Take care, and hope to see you tomorrow evening. .
