Who in the Houston area is up for a get together lunch? We're thinking Logan's on 290 near Hollister.
I've been talking to a nice lady who's SIL was just diagnosed and is interested in meeting other ANers for reassurance and advice.
Anyone game? I am. Who else?
Regards,
Brian

Count me in Brian, the last one was great.....Kay are you going to be in the area anytime soon??? MsMaggie I can drive, if you are the navigator!
Brenda

ugh! I'm always game to join in but won't be near Houston, unfortunately.... I'm sorry to miss out on this but have a fantastic time! :)

Unfortunately, I don't have any plans for being there this summer (Kendie is actually there right now with Grandma), but that could change ANY second!! I would LOVE to get together with you guys again!!

I'm in if I'm not traveling.
I believe that's the same nice lady that I've been communicating with via email. Do we have a suggested date/time?
Patrick

Texas is just too big!
I hope y'all can get together.

Hey Phyl, just use the ANA Moderator Jet and swing through the state picking people up. :)
Patrick, no suggested day yet.. Any opinions? We're talking about a place near my work, so I could swing by for lunch any time during the week. You guys come up with suggested days that work for you.
I'm glad she's not communicating with just me. It's important to get a well-rounded view of things. It'd be nice if we could all get together again.
Thoughts?

Thursdays and Fridays are the only days I can make the trip, the other days are my therapy and kid days! We are getting a Logans two miles from me and I am excited! I like checking out the area where you are though Brian because I lived there for several years and it is fun to see how much it has changed!
Brenda

Looks like I'm good for any day this week (except Thursday) and any day next week(as of now).
Patrick

I was on the road for 11 days during that time, so if they met then I missed it...darn it! Hope they can do it again now that I am back. Great people to hang out with!

Anyone still in touch with Gloria? I'm still interested in getting a group from Houston together. We haven't done it yet.
Thoughts?
Brian
-
Me, too! I haven't heard from Gloria, I wonder what they found at at the appointment.
Brenda

Hi Brenda and Brian,
I didn't hear anything back from Gloria after the initial contact. Don't know what they found out.

Btw, heard from G tonight. They're in Galveston. Apparently, the diagnosed son is having surgery THIS WEDNEDAY.. I don't have anymore details than that. She said she would fill me in once they return from the coast.
They contacted House for a phone consult and was basically told the same thing as the first doc here. So, son elected to have surgery sooner rather than later.
I guess meeting up with them will have to wait. I'll get the scoop and then we'll have to play the meet-up by ear.

Brian

Brian, put your friend on the AN treatment calendar if you'd like (and provide some details... I can't remember the specifics).
And... are any of you Texas people ever in Corpus Christi? I have to go down there this week and check on my aunt, who is ill.
Then HOPEFULLY 5 weeks from today we'll be in San Antonio watching my son graduate from basic military training, USAF!
Too bad all the cities in Texas are so dang far from each other!
I can't wait to eat BBQ and Tex Mex.

Keri,
I added his surgery date. Don't yet have a lot of details. I hope to soon.
I grew up on Port Lavaca and routinely went to Corpus and Port A. If you get a chance, the Boiling Pot in Key Allegro is the bomb!! And I went to college in San Marcos so I used to visit SA quite a bit. I won't be near either any time soon tho.
Regards,
Brian

Thanks, Brian!
I will keep them in my prayers.

So bummed that we will be SO far apart when you are in Texas - in fact, if any any other state, we wouldn't be in the same one then!! Have a great time and eat TONS of good food!
I still have NO plans to be in Houston...it may be a while actually b/c this we are there for Thanksgiving, but I am not sure if we will be in Houston or on family property on TX/LA border. It is always easier to get together when we are there for a LONG period of time instead of a weekend...

Toledo Bend - I am AWFUL at any type of geography so if that sounds familiar, let me know - still don't know if we are going there or just to Houston...would love to meet you too.

Quick update. I'm on my phone.
Jason's surgery ended at 5pm. He's in some pain but they got all of it even though it was stuck on the facial nerve. Has a lumbar drain and likely will be in ICU for 2 days. Told MIL that first 3days don't count.
All in all, Jason is doing well and so is rest of family. Btw, forgot to mention that Jasn's wife is expecting.
They really need all our colective well wishes and prayers.
More as I get it.
Regards,
Brian

Brian,
Thanks for keeping us posted. I have put Jason and family on my prayer chains and will do some extra praying myself. Thank you!
Brenda

thanks my Pooter for this update. Prayers and wishes continue for Jason for a speedy recovery... and congrats to them for their pending new arrival!

OK Cheri and Kay,
I have to chime in on the TX geography thing (so this isn't a hijack!)
When we lived in Dallas we went camping somewhere near the OK / TX border. I can't think of the name of the place but it was so pretty. There were mountains, and a creek and we went whitewater canoing. It wasn't the part of the OK /TX border that is flat and boring and ugly. It was in the NE corner of Texas, I think. May have been called Beaver Bend state park? Cheri, do you live near there?
And Kay, I ate a lot of good food on my short trip to TX. BBQ and Tex Mex. Even bought 2 boxes of Count Chocula (which I thought they stopped making years ago) and WATERBURGERS!!! i think we went over that already on facebook!

I've never been to Beavers Bend, but here's some info:
Beavers Bend & Hochatown State Park & Lodge
Hwy 259A
Broken Bow, OK 74728
It's on the OK side of the border between Texas and Oklahoma. It looks great! Quite a trek from Houston, though.
You can't go wrong with Texas BBQ, though. A few summers ago, some friends started a blog of review of Texas BBQ locations. They traveled all over the state visiting good BBQ places. I went with them on a few outings.
Just to stay "on topic" so we don't get swatted, no further updates about Jason. I did did G an email this morning asking for one. I'll post it as soon as I get it. He should be about ready, if not already, at home by now.
Cheerio!
Brian
