Westford MA, had my surgery at MGH 1/25/10.
In and out of Boston what seems like twice a week since for meetings. Great program.

I think I'm jealous. There's not a lot of us from Washington, and you seem to have a bunch in your area... You should have a little meet 'n greet!

Hugs! Patricia

Wow this is great!! Thank you all for your replies!! I actually live in South Weymouth but it's easier just to say Boston haha. Eventually I will be having surgery at the Boston Medical Center...I am still in the process of going to all the appointments required etc. In fact tonight I have to attend a meeting at the Quincy Marriot. I work across the street from there so it works out great!! Do any of you belong to any groups besides this site? Do any of you meet together?? I have to say I LOVE this site!! It's taking me awhile to know who is who haha
Thinking I need to add you all to my friends :-)
