Title: Meeting Down under.......
Post by: Amanda From OZ on April 22, 2007, 05:54:34 PM

Hello,

Well i couldn't make it to meet Lucinda and charee on Sunday, but after great difficulties cannulating for the last 2 days i ended up having to go into Damn Edith Walker (training center) to get help cannulating. And i was fortunate  to finally meet charee  and Russel (her hubby) while she was dialysing!!  We couldn't chat for long as i had two needles in my arm, and had to  get home asap before they clotted but it was GREAT to see and speak to charee in person and finally meet someone from IHD.

Luckily for charee she wasn't in the same room while i cannulated.... as she would of seen tears, tantrums and a lot of blood ..  ;D  :lol;

Charee is as beautiful  inside as she is on the outside, as soon as meeting her she sends off such a warm and beautiful energy. She is an amazing lady, and seems to be handling dialysis much better then i did...  :)

We didn't get any pictures this time because of the all the dramas and situation.......... but i am hoping to meet charee and Lucinda very soon and will defiantly have pictures then.

Amanda
xxoo

You guys should really plan something down there.  I need an excuse to go to Australia (have passport will travel) so you guys set a date and we might just show up.  You can marvel at our cute American accents and silly little greetings like "good morning" instead of g'day.

As`Amanda has said we finally got to meet, she is as pretty as her pics here at IHD, we couldn't chat for long but we also met her father and had a longer chat with him hes like a nice man also. Hope to be able to meet for lunch soon. Our meeting with Cindy and Paul went as well, they are both very caring ,generous and likeable people. We had a fabulous lunch with a fantastic backdrop, Cindy took all the pics and when she has time (she has the busiest life )she will post them, picking only the good ones i hope!! Also Cindy's neighbours came for lunch Simone and baby Zach they were delightful company also, had a few good laughs with everyone.

OK.....Cheree is gorgeous and we are going to meet up again soon because she and Russell are terrific.  Now....Tamara, Wattle and RichardMel have to come to Sydney and hang out with us.  Amanda and I are going to catch up soon but I am frantic at the moment because I have to get a new office open before I go in for surgery on Tuesday to have my graft redone. 

Cheree is really positive so it was great to take a breather and have lunch with them on Sunday.  My neighbour Simone takes on foster babies so we took her with us to lunch with her new recruit, Zac.  I really admire her for doing this, she's terrific...hey, Richard....she is single as well.

Well, I will have a party at my place soon.  I'll pick a date and let you all know.  Everyone is welcome....so jump that flight.  xxxxxx
