Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Well everyone- I have just been peeled off the ceiling because I am so happy. Last nite I had the honor and privilege of finally, finally meeting someone I have come to know and love deeply. Many of you know her; we had our surgeries two days apart, same surgeon, same floor of hospital but never met; she was too sick for visits and went back to her home without us ever meeting. We became computer pals, telephone buddies and actually " sisters " in heart and soul. I speak of Amber Reid, ville, Florida. For many who have found peace and support in the words of Amber all year long, I can only tell you whatever you thought about her, however wonderful you thought she might be....she is more. She lights up a room with those big blue eyes(her picture does her no justice) and her " coy and impish " grins are so huggable. We were instantly " in love. " We both feared meeting; that maybe we would not like each other or something but none of that was true. It was heaven. Amber's significant other and my hubby got along great and we are looking forward to many long weekends together. She is about 8 hours north of me as the crow flies; unless you are her significant other....as Matt flies, it is 5-6 hours. We took pictures which we will be sending thru the web so watch for them. Last year, together we weighed approx. 1,000 lbs; now approx.500lbs. How terrific is that? Guess what else? Amber wore shorts and looked great. I don't have that luck yet, but I walked alot today and last nite with her and used my cane only. She was a wealth of support and encouragement and she even has me convinced to try a healthclub like the one she belongs to. This from a woman that could not walk a foot without getting out of breath last year. Now she is walking 1.5 miles, riding a bicycle 7 miles and will soon be using weights. As for me, I am at the rehab. pool 2x per wk and feel my legs getting stronger each day; hence the cane...not the w/c or walker. This was and will continue to be a good year.
