Welcome! Things are very slow here due to summer activities, but will pick up soon. I found that Unjury protein powder was the most tasteful of all the different types out there and you can get samples at unjury.com.Best of luck to you with your journey and keep us updated as to your progress. Pam

Joe - first off, i'll keep you in my prayers with the procedure this week, i'm so glad they found it and will fix it for you!  my hubby is the runner in the family, didn't realize that years of being morbidly obese would you give you an arthritic knee before 50!  my 30th hs reunion is next year.  My daughter is starting high school this year and has made the JV field hockey team so i'll be quite busy.  My job with the public schools starts up again on the 30th, so i'm keeping out of trouble!  the HS is across the street, so we'll be going to lots of football games starting in about a week or so!  It's good to see you still active on here, you ARE an inspiration!

Hey!  Thanks for the shout.  Yes it has been a ghost town on the ole Virginnie Boards.
A couple of gems like Prissy's Charlottesville picnic and group meetings and a couple of newbies with very little responses.
I'm thinking a number of folks have moved on. 
The Men's and the Exercise and Fitness boards are slower than usual too. Or I'm just getting bored or something.

You doing OK?  Any new adventures or excitement  going on?

I haven't signed up for any races yet.  got about a month's worth of regular running in and had some problems the medical profession thinks is a opossible heart blockage.  I get a heart cath this Thursday (19 Aug) to see whats what and whether I work through it or have something to get fixed and start over yet again.

Worked my first HS football scrimmage of the upcoming season last Friday.  It was good to suit up and get on the field again.

Went to a 35th HS class reunion last Saturday that was fun and met some folks I haven't seen since HS.

Thanks again. Good to hear from someone.  There is life on the Board!

Joe  - good to see you posting, I have not been over here in months.  Are you going to run the Army ten miler?  that gaga dodge ball pit sounds interesting, i'll have to look it up and talk to our pool about putting one in.  Glad you are doing so well!  Lys

I live about 30 minutes from Arlington.
Be sure to PM me when you are healed up good from your surgery . I would love to have you come to one of my support group meetings .

I have them here in my home , as it is free , and I normally do them on a Saturday and do a light breakfast and coffee.
I plan on doing my next one in November . I would love to have you come .
Best to you in your surgery . As for me I had my surgery done in Richmond - Dr. Hutcher ... I had RNy .


Congrats and all the very best to you ,

Tink

Topic: Plastic surgeon residents
Has anyone used the residency program at VCU or UVA for plastic surgery? I'm curious about their reputation. Information on your experience with any resident program would be helpful.
Thanks,
Vicky
