Hey Everyone!
Tuesday, December 16 is the Central San Diego Support Group meeting. It will be at Donna and Michelle's house starting at 6:30. This is a potluck meeting, so we appreciate when folks bring a dish to share.

I know this is a hard time of year to take the time to support yourself, but that's even more reason to come out and get some encouragement as we stride into the Holiday season and all the yummy things that are part of the tradition.

pm me if you plan to come--I'll send you our address and phone number.

I hope you can make it!

Hello Donna the SDgrrl!

I am inquiring about support groups or someone to speak with after, now that I have had my surgery on 12/30/08.

OMG the pain, the headaches, nasuea and overall coughing 2 days post of AGB

I could really use a friend or two...this is a tough time on the first day of the new year.

Hi Laura,
If you want to come up to North County, we meet at Rain's house in Oceanside the second tuesday of each month, it's a casual support group, and a wonderful collection of people. You would be welcomed with open arms. It is certainly less formal than the support groups at the doctors office. I will PM you the info in case you'd like to come.

Thanks for your interest in one of our support groups. Lynda is right in that Rain hosts an excellent support group at her house in Vista on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7pm, and my support group meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6:30. We have a pot luck format so folks don't have to decide between a decent meal and a support group meeting. If you need some ideas, there's lots of recipes in the recipe forum. Or just whatever you can eat at your stage of recuperation.

You are smack in the middle of 'hell week', and I'm sorry you are having such pain, nausea, the whole 9 yards. It will get better, but it might take a while first. It's not easy getting re-plumbed!

If you have any questions, want more info, just throw them out there or pm me--pretty much anyone on the board can answer hell week questions--we've all been through it!

Take good care, Laura!
