Guest guest Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 Christy, You gotta hear this... I took a nap this afternoon, and dreamt that Dr. R was riding around on a motor bike with a side car to visit all his pre-ops right before surgery.. I was riding in the side-car (guess cuz I' m special..huh?) LOL LOL true story,... My Jude was in my dream, and she was already thin... (before surgery!) I kept asking her why she was having surgery..... LOL Trude (missing my Jude today!) Re: TRUDE & JUDE SHOW Sounds good Trudy.........You up to that Judy????

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Cathy, Jude and I are just a couple of clowns that were distined to meet one day!!

I came home this evening and started reading all of my " Post " E-Mail and was totally blown away by the celebration of your dance date!!! Congratulations...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 P.J. You're answering them too? Trude Re: TRUDE & JUDE SHOW Thanks Cathy. We are sooooo excited. WE are also a little over-talkative, one might say, and between Trude and I we answer about 80% of the emails, I swear! I've been watching this site daily for about 3 months. It's an interesting phenomena. First you watch, lurking quietly in the shadows. Then, you write a quick note to someone and see your name actually enter the site. Then someone says Welcome to you, and you discover you've found a home. Then, it becomes the best group of friends a person could have, and any absence greater than 3 hours makes you long to get back to the computer and see how your buddies are all doing. (It's right about here that you know what 'compulsive' means, and you know you've gone a little over the deep end!) And with you, right at about the same time, have also come a band of 10 or 12 other folks who are at basically the beginning phase, just as you are. Fast forward one month, and the shyness has gone completely. You're having conversations about every bodily function under the sun with the best friends you've never met, and are now awaiting insurance approval or a date to dance!!!! At the same time, the group of folks that were all on board when you first peeked in are now post-ops and sharing every detail, making you ever more comfortable with the decision you've made and the life-altering process upon which you've embarked. Fast forward one more month, and those who started together are now shouting across this land, from North to South and East to West, that they have a date, and who is their mate, and when we are great!!!!!!!!!!!! And it makes you cry. I see it as a horizontal escalator, constantly moving at a slow pace, allowing safe and easy access for anyone from anywhere. A few get off before it's final destination in Durham, usually due to circumstances beyond their control. The rest stay on, saying hi to those ahead and those behind, and smiling into the future. Welcome to all you newbies, keep all those going into surgery in your hearts, and reach out to the post-ops when you need to. We are a family united by cause. We are all here to improve our lives. To watch our children grow up; or see our first grand child; or regain our health; or whatever personal goals we may have. My heart is with each of us as we struggle along on this escalator path. It has been a pleasure for me on this journey to meet so many of you. I have laughed so hard I've ruined my chair (Trude, you owe me a cushion!), and cried equally as thoroughly at people's inspiring or sad stories. As I now approach Durham myself, I am amazed that my group is now at the front of the line, and I see newer folks coming on board for miles behind. And they are beginning to post their first tentative tries, and trying to find contacts for their packet, and they are taking over the resposibility of telling the truly new that THEY must contact the contacts (boy I got tired of writing that one!), and I see the bigger picture. Here's to all of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much. PhillyJude MGB 11-3-00!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
