Question about TWH support group
Is there a lot of people that go, generally? Is it something you've found was helpful, for those that go? It takes me 40 minutes to an hour to get to the hospital and at this point in my day the very idea of sitting in the car for two hours tonight exhausts me! But if it's something that others have found helpful maybe it's worth the drive?
I have only been to a few, but yes, a lot of people go. From what I can remember, the last one was a packed house. If I recall, tonight's group is broken up into two groups (pre & post op, iirc). I haven't been to one like that before and unfortunately I won't make it tonight as I'm a walking petri-dish with a cold.
I go and I find it helpful as tonight they split the group in two pre-op and up to one year post op stay in one group and everyone over a year go to the other group.
