Hello again to everyone,
to those who might be interested I do know of a really great support group here in O.C.. They are referred to as the OSCB stands for Original Southern California Bandsters. It has grown quite large over the years but is still a very tight nit group and very friendly. Here you will find a wide range of banded patients from the non banded in the investigating stages to the bandsters banded seven years or more. This group usually meets the third Sunday of each month. The place varies usually at restraunts (isnt that funny) or at someones house. It is always put on the board ahead of time. You do need to join in order to know this information. However due to the annual Tijuana Bash this months meeting may not be held? If you go to the website here you should be able to get all your questions answered. To check this group out just go to yahoo groups OSCB join and your in. I cant tell you how important a support group is. You guys seem to have the right idea.
Good luck to everyone newly banded or about to be!
Jackie
