I had the car all to myself today--didn't have to go where I didn't want to go--went at the pace I wanted to--stopped where I wanted--did what I wanted to --just like when I am with Allen but I was driving and it was a much older car-- still a Buick--a 1989 Buick--it's really a feeling of being independent having a car and the freedom to use it!!!





Went to my second Mended Hearts meeting--during the rap session hour I told them how I felt the month before--unwelcomed, not given any information about membership, fees, newsletters and certainly didn't feel they were supportive though they pushed the idea of being a 'supportive' group. They listened and responded in a positive way but I still don't think they operate as a support group.

I was surprised that for people who have been through a life threatening operation they practiced/showed very little 'hands on' in the sense of touching--not even shaking hands let alone an arm around a shoulder and, as one said, they are not a 'touchy/feely' group which I find very strange.

I did join though I don't know how often, or even if, I will be going back though I do plan to attend their December holiday luncheon which is free and I can bring whomever I want to.

And, last but not least:
