I'll be sure to do that Maja.  That would be nice to meet people face to face and goodness knows I need a support group bad.  I don't live far from DePaul.  I live near Dorsett and 270.  Hope to see you soon.

Topic: RE: Question about SSM DePaul's Support Group
I had surgery at DePaul about three months ago and Wednesday was the New Year New You party.  I saw the staff in a different way not so "job" related.  More of their caring side I just have not experienced in my "journey" at the Clinic / Hospital and on the phone.   Not to say I have had a bad experience just a professional one.  I am going to start going to the support groups since I work in the area and driving from home is too expensive and much too time consuming.  I only work a few minutes from DePaul.  And I am realizing how much I need the support as I have been white knuckling it on my own. Deanna if you go make sure to meet up with me maybe if the meetings go late we could work out something so you would not have to always take the bus home especially if it is cold and or raining.  Maja

Topic: Springfield, MO doctors - Cox Network
I have just moved here from Dallas, TX in October of 2010.  I was talking to the doctor about some complications I was having from a RNY in August of 2006.  There was talk of reversing my surgery.  I need to find a good doctor in this area to continue this discussion.  Can anybody help me find a good doctor in the Springfield area on the Cox Network?

Thanks for the help

It's snowing in Raytown....whoopppie.  Not sure it is downtown KC.  I'm not close to a window. 

Jan, I have some protein powder in individual packets I want to send to you.  I don't like the flavors.  I can mail them Monday if you would like them and you will still be here to receive them.  I also have a WLS magazine.

You asked yesterday if I could stand the GF living in my house with her mess.  She could put her boxes in the garage and since I wouldn't be living there I would probably be ok with it.  I'm not understanding why he stays with her, but I keep quiet.  It's his business.  She has a storage she she pays $60 a month for and has no clue what in the boxes.  Then she has boxes in the house.  She keeps making excuses for not taking care of the mess.  She is really very lazy.

The court was pretty harsh considering he wasn't driving although it was assumed he intended to drive and there were no injuries or damage.  Kansas is clamping down on DUI's.  They are proposing a law that if a person gets a 4th DUI they will go to prison.  Fortunately, Greg never injured anyone but he could have.  No one should drink and drive.

The prosecutor wanted him to serve 180 days in jail and fined $3,000.  His attorney ask for 2 days in jail and 3 days house arrest and a fine but I don't know how much.  He is doing community service at Wayside Waifs for that.  He can't have any motorized vehicle in his name so he has to transfer ownership to someone else or they will impound his car and he will libel for fees for storage.  He's also to get a job within 90 day, but that may be difficult since he can't drive.  If he can find something in Raytown, he can walk or Max will drive him.

Greg is really down and I understand.  It is harsh punishment, but it's a lesson learned.  A lot of people in his cir****tances wind up homeless and have no support.  He's got a roof over his head and plenty of food plus people that care about him and want to help him.

We won't be moving to the retirement center in Raytown.  We were told the owner would work with us to make it affordable.  We told him we could pay $850/month but he wants $1,085.  He will waive the security deposit of $1,050.  No deal.  The place doesn't have a dishwasher.  I just got a portable and could take it, but it would be crowded.  I really want out of RT.  Tomorrow we're going to look at a place in Grain Valley which is east of us and close to Blue Springs where we used to live and we love the area.  They have a DW and a built in microwave.  My niece and sister live there.  Max wouldn't be a gofer for his daughter. 

Deanne, hope you get to your appointment okay and you get good results.  I need to schedule a mamogram.

Topic: RE: What'shappening Thursday!!
Present and accounted for, lol.  We got about 12 inches of snow here at my house.  I didn't get out and go anywhere today but that doesn't mean I wasn't outside.  I helped Cody shovel the driveway, though I believe I did a lot more of it than he did.  I shoveled 2 hours worth of the 3 we were out there.  We didn't do it all in one blast.  We did come in and take breaks to get warm.  It was pretty good exercise for me and it felt good to be able to do it.

Cody left this afternoon with his grandma.  They are headed up to my brother's north of Kansas City.  They are going up by train so I'm not too worried.  This weekend is the Ozzy Osbourne concert for my brother and Cody.  It was Cody's birthday gift from my brother.  He is going to have a great time.  He was so excited because he has been looking forward to this since late September when my brother bought  the tickets. 

I hope all went well with you son in court today Jo.  That's good that he completed the community service and is going to AA.  That should go a long way with the court. 

Not too much going on around here this weekend.  Unfortunately Michael and I don't have the money to take advantage of being childless for 5 days.  I do have my mammogram appointment tomorrow and since I'm using my roommate's car there should be no problem in my getting there. 

Well, I'm going to get off of here and finish watching the Blues game.  Hopefully they get their act together and pull this game out.  Just wanted to say hi.

Hey girl,

I had my surgery done at the same place as yours, though I didn't get De La Torre, I used the lady doc there. I hope your cyst is going to be taken care of quickly - that sounds like NO fun at all. Hope your trip to Columbia went without incident.
