Topic: RE: Where is everyone???
I was wondering the same thing. Last week end we went tubing down the Brandywine and I think this week end we're gonna go do the Wilmington train thing. My son should like that.
Have a great weekend, Stay cool!

Topic: RE: Hello
Hello and Welcome!
Congratulations on deciding to have surgery! It would be helpful to ween yourself off of sodas now and caffeine. Start drinking more water and if you don't exercise now is a good time to start walking. I wouldn't buy too much protein supplements right now, your taste may change after the surgery and you could be left with lots of powder that gags you! I personally didn't do too much to get ready except for reading up on the surgery as much as possible. Don't pack too much, I wore the clothes home that I came in. Robe, slippers, chap stick and toiletries. Thats about all you need.
Good luck!

We used to live in Warwick Park. 108 Comanche Circle.
It was so quiet and peaceful there. I really miss it.
