Title: Kellyt met Nursewratchet and spartey83 today!
Post by: kellyt on December 17, 2008, 01:28:09 PM
:bandance;  And it was awesome!   I met Nursewratchet at the dialysis clinic where she works, picked her up in my dirty truck (sorry Vicki) and we had a nice lunch at Chili's!  She was good and had a salad.  I was hungry and had 1/2 a turkey sandwhich and a cup of soup (and some fries).  So much fun!  We had lots of things to talk about and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.  We plan on getting together again!

When we got back to the center we went in to take a photo (will follow when I get film developed in next few days).  And while we were there I got to meet Spartey83, as he was on the machine and doing good!  He plans on checking in with IHD more often!   :clap;

I can't say enough about these two individuals!  They were great!  I look forward to getting to know both of them more!

Thanks!!!!

 :2thumbsup;   I know you two had a great time.  It continues to amaze me how members meet up and make friendships.  Kind of like online dating but for friends (except for RichardMel who would rather have the date!).    Nursewratchet,  I know you feel in love with Kelly.  She is such a sweetie!!   Glad you had a nice time together.   :grouphug;

We took one photo of Me and Nursewratchet in her office.  I'm bummed because I left and forgot to go back and get a photo of Spartey83!    Darn!  I guess I'll have to go back and bug'em!!!   ;D

Kelly was too cute!  I was at the front desk, (playing Ssecretary), and she had on a "got kidneys" tshirt.  Recognized her right away.  We had a blast!  If I didn't mention, I am an illiterate about pic's and downloading that kind of stuff, so leaving that to her.  No pressure Kelly to get it out there.  Ya'll can see my office.  Sparty83 had a nice visit with her too.   :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

My husband has "moon face" and all I can think of when I look at him is how cute he is and how lucky we are that he's healthy.  It doesn't bother him, and it sure doesn't bother me.

I think when we look at ourselves in the mirror anything we don't like is always magnified.  I'm sure you look great!   :cuddle;

I have two digital cameras and I can't stand either one of them!!!!!!   I need to up-grade to a GOOD digital camera!  One that doesn't say "low battery" after every shot and then automatically turn off!  It's an HP, so it's not necessarily "crap", I just HATE IT!   I love my 35 mm, though!

awesome pic!!! And yeah the "moon face" spells transplant to me... I sure as hell couldn't give a stuff about having a moon face and people thinking it looks weird if it means I have a working transplant and a more normal life!!! Besides the moon look will go away soon enough. You still look gorgeous !!!

thank you finally for the pic!!! :grouphug;

I hate the moon face, but it's a small price to pay!   Plus, by the 2nd week in Feb. I'll be down to 10 mg of Prednisone!  Not much longer now!!!!    :clap;  At least at 10 mg the side effects start to go away!

Kelly, you look gorgeous.  I am so glad you didn't cut your hair before surgery.   I love all your curls. 

Nursewratchet great picure.  It really is special to meet a member and spend time with them.   You two look like you had a good time.

I think the picture of both of you looks great.  I think get togethers add so much to the doldrums of day to day existence. I can't wait for 2009 get togethers but hooking up(no pun intended) with other IHDers is exciting.
