Topic: RE: Salem Support group
Hi Karen,
We have our meetings the first and third Wednesdays of every month. If you have an email I can put you on my email list and I send out reminders two days before the meetings. Our next one is tomorrow and it is at the Salem Hospital in the Birthing Center Building, Building D, at 6pm in the support group room, just follow the signs that say Salem BOST.
We are open to everyone and you are welcome to bring a support person with you. I personnally had my surgery at OHSU a little over two years ago and am more than willing to talk to you or answer any questions you like. We are a very friendly relaxed group. Hope to see you there.

Do you have these meetings often? I live in Salem and would LOVE to start going to support meetings!! I'm planning on having my surgery done at OHSU and I think to attend the meetings at Salem Hospital you have to have it done there? Not sure on that.
Anyways, thanks in advance!

Topic: RE: State Employee with Providence Insurance
That is great to hear. I am so nervous about getting my first fill since the change in insurance, not sure what they pay. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of documentation did they require? Please PM me if that is more comfortable for you.
