MI Survivors

Hi Lori.... Glad you found us..... Hi girls.... Where is everyone at....? I watched the thread around the beginning of November and saw no new posts about meeting.... and I wasn't feeling so hot, but swore to myself I would try to make it if I could....

I've been having some colon issues and really haven't been able to travel far from home as it seemed my toilet and I had become the best of friends.... I had a coloscopy on Nov 28 and will get the results tomorrow.... The prelim report said they found some iflammation and some ulcerations and they took some biopsy's......

Otherwise, just trying to get ready for the holiday season, have my tree up and some other decorations but just doing it slowly......

Hope all is well with you guys...... I do check here everyday looking for posts..... But I think I would have been the only one posting....lol......

Hugs.......

Hey Ladies...(and welcome Lori)

Lori, I also live in Canton (past 6 years)-small world. eh? Hoping everyone is doing well. I "finally" feel like I am getting back to my old self here. I'm actually looking forward to toasting "out" 2005.

You all up to getting together this month? If not, maybe next year.

Hoping this post finds us happy and well.

Happy Holidays everyone:-)

Lorie

Hi Joanie..... Sorry you had to find us, but you found one great group of ladies..... My dad used to live in Downtown Chicago and I loved going there..... Such a pretty town during the holidays..... I was lucky enough to spend a christmas there with him and it was beautiful and such a clean city too compared to Detroit.....

Just checking in to see how everyone is dealing with the snow and holidays and such.....

Hope this finds everyone well..... Happy Holidays......!!!!

Hugs.......

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Thought I might toss the idea of a get together back in the air as the holidays have passed.

Hi there Geri and all our Michigan gals . . . I agree that we are due (or maybe even overdue??) for a get together. Maybe we could see what is good for everyone. I am going to be gone the middle two weeks of March because my daughter will be moving but February looks pretty good all except the 25th. Just a thought.
Blessings to all,
Pat

Gerri:
I've been so busy with my two grandbabies and seem to have been both in Chicago and/or Milwaukee alot lately. I'll be home all of February and the first week in March but then I'm off to babysit for my younger daughter first and then the older one right after that. I love it although it keeps me busy, believe me!! Hope we can get the gang together either before I go or after I get back. We'll have to wait and see who is available.
Gerri, hope all is going well with you. Are you working now or a lady of leisure?? LOL
God bless,
Pat

I'm here too...... Been feeling pretty good lately.... (knock on wood).... I have a lat flap scheduled in late March, but other than that the beginning of March is good for me.......

Hugs........

I'm in for a get together...as long as it doesn't snow.

Anna - I had treatment through Beaumont (RO and Troy). I am PMing you.

I could probably do the 4th but will be gone from March 5th through March 30th doing babysitting in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Blessings,
Pat

March 4 works for me.

I've done the Komen “Race for the Cure” 5K walk the last two years and definitely plan on it again this year. My two survivor friends talked me into it and we have a great time. They have all these Company sponsors that give out freebies so we walk around after the race and stock-up. There is a Survivor tent that we could meet at and hang out either before or after the walk.

When you sign up, they give you a pink t-shirt, hat and other things in a welcome packet. They have these signs you can pin on you that say you are walking for someone or in memory of someone. I put for breastcancer.org on mine and in memory of Sprite the first year I went.

If you have enough people, you can form a team. Several of the teams wear something to show that they are a group and they are quite creative. There are pink flamingo hats, feather boas and other silly stuff that are a hoot. There is no pressure to raise funds but it costs (I think) about $25 or $30 to register depending on if you have your packet mailed to you or pick it up when you get there. Looking at their website, it is too early to sign up so I don’t know the details.

Along the route are groups playing music and people cheering you on. Many local high schools have their bands playing songs. It is very emotional, you can’t help getting teary. It is all done by around noon so we go to the coney island for lunch.

Are we going to the Olive Garden in Novi again? March 4 sounds like a date. Once we are sure about the details, let’s announce it on the other topics to catch all the new Michigan ladies on here. I think that one of my friends will be joining us this time.

Hi All:
The fourth is good here too - and the Olive Garden in Novi is fine as well unless some would like to have it elsewhere. No preference . . . Looking forward to seeing everyone, it seems like a long long time!!!
Blessings,
Pat
