Lorie,

We come up to Alliance 3-4 times a year. The next

time let's get together!

Thanks for asking about me since surgery. I feel

great! I am no longer on diabetes or hypertension

meds, and both are running normal. I have heard

people state that the Hawthorne is a nice place and if

you go through Medstay the rate is great. I stayed at

Super 8, right off the interstate and about 5 min from

hospital. Since Statesville is only 2 hrs from

Durham, I didn't need to stay until the staples came

out. By the motel was a hardware store (for husband

to wander through), up the street not hardly a mile

was a mall, and various grocery stores. My surgery

was on a Monday and by Wednesday I was at home, so I

can't help you much as for what there is to do.

Anything else I can help you with, just let me know.

, I would love to meet you and get together. Let me know when you are

in town and we can set things up. Are you coming in at Christmas. Let me

know.

I am really looking forward to getting off my hypertension meds, asthma

meds, and my arthritis meds. My orthopod says I need knee replacement now,

but he is hesitant because I only just turned 40. He is very supportive of

the surgery and thinks I will get about another 10+ years out of these knees

if I get the weight off. The asthma should decrease (I hope) enough that I

will only have to use an inhaler as needed and not take the medicine any

longer. We'll see.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well and thanks for the heads-up on the

hotels. These little things really do make a difference.
