EVERYBODY PLEASE READ

[Jan214]

I have been toying with the idea of starting a registry among us so that in the event that one of our "sisters" needs someone to be with them IRL we will have a list of people we can call in their city.  Most of us remember our little friend in CA who could have used a lot of support and at the last minute we were scambling around trying to find someone to help her.  Now there are other women who are having to face this alone or pretty much alone and that should not be the case.  We are so loving and supportive on this forum, I don't see why we should not carry that over into RL.  I have thought of several good and safe ways this could be done so now I just want to know if you all would be willing to participate.  If the response is enough I will post my ideas on how it could be done and I would like your input as well.  I am an organizer by nature and usually pretty good at getting people to come together for a good cause.  We are always looking for ways to help the cause of OVCA and being there for one of our own is a great way to start.  Thanks
Love,
Jan

You all are just amazing!!!  I will be at my inlaws from Mon-Wed or Thurs.  After that I will be putting together a list of where you all are and will be emailing a master list and a local list to each one of you.  The list will only contain city and state and that way if something arises you can call or visit with the people in your area.  I would also like to start a "greeting card" post for those going into surgery.  We could all post our well wishes and than one person could call or visit and read them the  "card" from all of us.  I know if I were in the hospital and away from you all it would make me feel better to hear from you guys.

This is a great idea.  I just found this forum and after being a three year survivor I would love to give support to women in need of it.  I live in the South Eastern wisconsin area.

The response here has been totally AWESOME!!!. Especially since I am seeing so many women so much closer to me than I had realized. This is so nice and not just for the ones having surgery ect, even for just having someone to talk to on the "down days". Even better, I am seeing so many of us within 2 to 3 hours apart that I can forsee a meeting of a bunch of us in the near future. I so look forward to something like that as I am sure so many of you are. I don't remember if I ever stated my town in So IL but it is a little town by the name of Olney. Also known as the home of the White Squirrels, due to a large population of white squirrels here. (Actually, they are not all 4 legged creatures either!) It is nice to see so many caring and concerned women out there, it warms my heart. Best wishes to you all. Love Chris

Paula, My Adhesion (and much younger :)) Soul Sister... I know...that sounds corny...but whenever I see a comment on pain from scar tissue/adhesion...I always think, "ah, I know Paula will cover this if I can't..." Or...WE both cover it! And, WHY NOT, right?

Thanks for the note. I appreciated it.

I am excited now that I am blue...and, very proud of myself that I figured it all out...I wrote a very long story, but then, I felt there was a lot to cover!

Speaking of blue....I have been a bit blue recently...just some family stuff husband (of 27 years!) and I are trying to figure out....but, we're getting there. Part of the problem is that life gets so busy and hectic...as if this is news to everyone, right? Also daughter home after graduating from college made it necessary to make some adjustments around here. But, I think we've figured everything out, and now we barely see her since she is so busy...but, it's a good busy, you know.

Loving the job though...and the furry pets keep me laughing.

Take care...Didn't mean to change the direction of this thread, but wanted to acknowledge your kind note to me. I promise to come out of hibernation.
