Hey Cali,

I got up early (without the use of an alarm) and did a 30 minute run this morning.

Nothing else going on with me.  I have to go and clean up my desk.

More Love and Peace,

Kim

Good Morning Cali =)

Today I have my first of 6 appointments with my surgeon - Medi-Cal now requires a 6 month dr. supervised diet so... *cry*.  I also have church tonight! Not much going on besides that! OH! I get my last in the series of 3 Hep. B shots today... training to be a medical assistant so hep.B immunization is a must :)

Good Morning Katt and Cali Crew!!

I have returned! I know I have been MIA for a couple of weeks, but due to a manufacturers defect, my computer motherboard went out. So off to the Geek Squad hospital, it went. I am so glad I had the warranty, it was covered 100% (otherwise it would have been close to $200!)!
Today brings trying to finalize some travel plans for next month. I am going up to Albany, CA to tour the Orientation Center for the Blind. I found a train that will take me and my sister to Emeryville, but I can't find transportation from Emeryville to Albany, I also can't find any hotel/motels near the Amtrak station in Emeryville. Can any of the Nor Cal crew help with what the transportation and accomidations are in Emeryville? I am arriving on Tuesday, Feb 23rd @ 10 pm and departing Thursday, Feb 25th @ 8 am. Everything I look up online is either in Oakland or Berkley. I don't have access to a car, so I need something close by. Thank you in advance, my friends.
I hope everybody is doing fine, seems like quite a few new faces on here! That is awesome. Let me tell you Welcome. You have all come to a wonderful supportive place. Congratulations to those that have their surgery dates or are starting their pre-op rides.
Well, I am going to try to catch up with a couple of weeks of post! Seems like that may take a week in itself! LOL!

Huge hugs to everyone!!

Welcome back Michelle.  Have you looked into Greyhound?

Thanks, Kimmie! I did look into Greyhound. They go from LA to Berkley. Which is south of Albany. Now Dept of Rehab is telling me that I should fly. Great how do I get from Hesperia to LAX or ONT, then I think the closest airport to Albany is Oakland! I am just getting frustrated. Sorry to vent. Just wish this was easier.

Sorry you are having so many difficulties.  This is one of the times you need access to a car.  I really hope you are able to find a solution soon.

Michelle,

In Emeryville, there are some choices for you to consider:

The Woodfin Inns and Suites - 5800 Shellmound Emeryville @ $119.00 per night
Four Point Sheraton - 1603 Powell St. Emeryville @ $129.00 per night
Hilton Garden Inn - 1800 Powell St. Emeryvikke @ $89.00 per night
Courtyard by Marriott - 5555 Shellmound Emeryville @ $109.00 per night
Extended Stay America - 3650 Mandela Parkway @ 80.00 per night

Almost all of them will have a free shuttle from Oakland Airport and you could take a taxi for a nominal fee from the Amtrack or Greyhound station as they are not that far from Emeryville.  I would also think that the Center for the Blind can obtain an additional discount for you through contractual rates they may have either for the hotel and/or transportation.

Of course, let me know when you come up and if I can I'd love to rally for dinner one night.

Hugs,
Barb

Thank you so much, Barb, for all the information! I have a call into the Center, so they can let me know if they have a shuttle or maybe can spare a room for a couple of nights or something.
I would love to meet up with you, if you are able to swing it.
I am really looking forward to this trip and this new endenvor that I will be undertaking this year. You are a awesome friend and I appreciate all the help! Please tell Ron, Howard and I said Hello and give eachother a hug from us!
Hugs,
Michelle

Welcome back Michelle! Today is a rest day for me.  I went to Tachi Casino in Lemore last night.  I went with 2 friends.  We saw Sylvia Brown.  She is so funny.  She talked about health last night.  I felt like she was talking just to me most of the time.  One of my friends won $100 on the penny Wheel of Fortune game.  She was so excited.  She cashed out and then called her husband to tell him. We ate dinner there at the grill.  I had meatballs and sauce.  It was so good!  It did not bother me either.  I ate about 3/4 of one meatball.  They charged me for the entire dinner though.  Oh well, we had a great time.  I went to bed about 2 a.m. I slept until 11:45 morning.  My friend took pictures and I was just so shocked at how good I looked!  I am still waiting for my DH to down load my new pictures so I can post them.  He has been very busy this week.  

Well that is all that is new for me.  I hope everyone has a great day!
