Hope It's Not Too Late Late For Thursday Pizza!

[Joe Gutstadt]

Hi everyone:

This is my initial post.
Been 'looking in' on this terrific site for awhile now.

Must say those who make up the forum are truly knowledgeable
and sincerely compassionate.

I have gained a weath of information.

Myself, now 66. Complications from Scarlet Fever as a youth
lead to AVR at 59. Surgery by Dr Marshall Golden at Rush-
North Shore in Skokie IL-St. Jude, S/N 60113798.

Can honestly say, I'm currently in the best health of my life!
Exercise regularly outdoors and at a local heath club.

I can really 'feel' the experiences many of you have had.
Except when taking my P.T. (TTR -74% this year) --the
clicker never enters my mind. Postive thinking is everything.

Live in the area. If there's room for one more at Gino's
Thursday...great. Schedule for Friday, Saturday is
crowded at this point, so this may be my only chance
to get acquainted.

Thanks

Joe

I'm sure they make room for you Joe. It's always nice to be able to meet everyone and it's a once in a lifetime thing in Chicago I think. Gina can fill you in more.

Welcome to the club.

Hi Joe,


It's never too late for Pizza! Welcome aboard. Looking forward to meeting you Thursday. You're right! Positive thinking is everything. I believe it got me through surgery fairly stress free. I believe in PMA!

Hey Lorraine,
I think this could turn into a Birthday Party! What do you think?
See you all tomorrow.

Ah but would you do and say the same if you had to wear a thong on your head at the same time?

 

[fyrfytr]

Depends on how much beer there is!
