Meeting fellow board members

[Guest guest]

I had the great pleasure of meeting Angie of Sc today. She and I

have the same surgeon and luckily are appts were on the same day. We

had emailed one and other about it and even told each other what we

were going to wear to make sure we could find us. Well as luck would

have it I was called back before she had come in. However, I am a

old hat there and when I had finished with the doc I asked the staff

if she had gotten there and the nurse made sure we met when Angie was

finished.

Well she is a very attractive and lovely young woman. Her signature

comment at the end of each of her emails and posts certainly does

depict her well. She has a very warm smile and is just as positive

in person as she is in her post. It was hard to believe that she had

just has major surgery 2 weeks ago. We could only chat for afew

minutes as we had other things to do and poeple with us. I

immediately felt very comfortable talking with her and I am sure had

we not had other things on our plates we could have talked for along

time. I hope that I can meet her again, under more pleasant

circumstances, as I am sure it would be a lot of fun.

So now I feel truly blessed. I have met quite a few members. First

Cyndi J, then Heidi on more then a few occasions and from

TN who I love so dearly and her adorable 4 year old and then

G of ton who was so very kind to visit me in the

hospital the last time I was admitted (she was also so generous as to

give me a georgous orchid that is still blooming)and now Angie. I

could never ever forget the wonderful time I had in Ohio when Lily

and came to visit me. I have also spoken on the phone with

many other members. Darren, dear sweet Fliss, and Bridgitte (who I

have been very concerned about and have not spoken to as I got very

sick after I had called her in the hospital and could not get back in

touch with her I pray she is doing alright).

It is so wonderful to be able to meet and share our experiences with

one and other. Sometimes this disease can make us feel so isolated

and being able to comisserate so to speak with one and other on this

board and elsewhere has been a life saver for me. If any of ya'll

ever get a chance to meet up, do.

Hoping all of ya'll are doing well.

Warmly,

Dear ,

Exactly like you said, I'm very excited to meeting someone from the group

personally, I'm just hoping that everything goes fine with my visa on Monday and

i'd try my utmost to everyone possible from the board.
