Default Jennie, please let your ifish friends help out

[see Jennie's post today (September 27th) on the ifish home page]

After your surgery and after you've returned home, there are going to be (probably) weekly, then bi-weekly and then monthly follow-ups at the Casey Eye Center, likely for a year. That's going to be a burden on you and your family and it's going to be expensive.

I, for one, would be honored if you would let us help. I'd take a day off and come get you, take you to your appointment and return you home. No doubt we can make arrangements for folks there to meet us "flatlanders" half way and "relay" you to and from your appointments. 'Just a small way of showing how much we appreciate you and what you do for us on ifish. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find enough "volunteers" that nobody would make more than one trip.

Who is with me on this?

Don

Count me in!

There's lots of other ways to help, too. Pre-prepared frozen meals, etc.
