Hi Marcy,
Welcome to OFF! I have Tricare also and it took me about 5 months. Yours really went quickly!! Congratulations!
I hope you get to see and play with the grandchildren a lot! The growup so fast! Our son is in the Navy (he joined 2 years before his dad retired!) and we don't get to see the grands nearly enough!

Hi Marcy,
Glad you came in. I practised as an RN also till '98 some months after my MS dx. Was able to get ssdi reasonably quickly as there were plenty of other comorbidities.
I also am going into surgery on the 27th, for a DS.
It's nice you are closer to family now... that means so much.
And yes, dish on that novel!! You can't just come in and say you are writing a novel without throwin us a little tidbit about it!
I'll keep you in prayer and look forward to chatting with you post op too!
Hugs,
Patti

Welcome Marcy....You've come to the right place!! I am 65, and will be 66 y/o four days before my Lap RNY Surgery on November 19th. The best Birthday present ever!!
My husband and I have two grown children, a son living and in business (home improvement) here in our town and one daughter living and working (radio personality) in Boise, Idaho. We have one 9 y/o grand daughter and one grandson (22) living close by and three step-daughters and 5 great-grandkids in Idaho. I am retired but do some secretarial work for our home improvement business. The process for having WLS wasn't very long at all and I am so looking forward to November 19th!!!!
Again, WELCOME!!
Sandy

Welcome to OFF, Marcy. You will find, as we all have that you are on the best forum on OH. We love each other unconditionally and all love to chat each day about our day and what it is going to hold for us. We laugh, cry and share with each other. We are truly family in every sense of the word.
Please post often and let us get to know you. Just put your feet up in the most comfy chair you have and don't forget to bring your favorite cuppa whatever with you. We love to get together and chat for a while.
I am a reader too so please fill us in on the book that you are writing. That is something that I have always wanted to do and just may some time in my life. I do write poetry and no one gets to read that. It is about my feelings on things that happen in my life. But sadly it has been a long time since I wrote anything.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
