Support Groups

Hey fellow OH'ers  (ok I just used this one cuz it's hilarious!). 

I was just wondering if there are any support groups during the weekends?  Hope all is well with everyone!  I know you all mentioned coffee's, but are there others?

IMHO - the best support groups are on the weekends!  We post a variety of locations coffee groups on Saturday mornings.  It is very informal - just meeting with others who are looking to have surgery, had surgery recently,  had surgery a while ago.  It is a great way to ask questions, get support and get a latte'

 

I think this weekend there is one at Burnsville - at the Panera by the Mall - around 830ish.  Other weekends they are at Eagan at the Caribou inside Byerlies and there is one at Maple grove and I believe Roseville and a West St. Paul - I will let others chime in on those. 

These coffee groups are not specific to any clinic and there isn't a set agenda or anything like that. 

Therese and I were newbies at Roseville last weekend. On Thurs or Friday's they post when and where that weekends coffee is going to be.. keep your eyes peeled. You can go to which ever one you want to.. I'm going to float around so I can meet all the different peeps on here!!!

Hi-
I don't know of any formal groups that meet on weekends, but I do know that the coffees have been a God send for me.  Just being with peole who "get it" and will answer basically any question is a great feeling.  Are you living in the Twin Cities?

Yeah I am living in St Paul and working in Eden Prairie, so I am kind of every where and could meet up where ever.  8:30 am on a Saturday morning just seems so early!! 

It DOES seem CRAZY EARLY, especially if you're not a morning person (HELLO!!  I am so NOT a morning person!!!)

But set your alarm, and go.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.  And there's a damn good chance you'll be hooked after the first time.

(Besides - whodathunk Saturdays were actually that long?  Used to feel like I had to start dinner shortly after I got up!    )
