To all SE Pennsylvania IBD-ers:

The CCFA is holding its annual IBD education day on Sunday, April 10. I am going, and a few others have expressed interest in attending as well. Here is the webpage with info:

Let me know if you plan to go - I am going to try to put something informal together for us to all meet up afterwards and maybe get a bite to eat.... and fight for the bathroom afterwards!!!!!

Hi everyone! If anyone is interested in attending this event, we can meet in the lobby during the break, over by where the coffee is. I will be wearing my fuschia pink coat for easy identification!

Afterwards (honestly if I'm still up for it after sitting for four hours), I plan to go to Jimmy John's for lunch - 221 South 11th Street.

Hope to see a few of you there! - Ames

See y'all tomorrow! Look for me in my fuschia coat!!!

I'll probably have to "bag out" (hahaha!) on lunch - not sure how I will do on sitting for the entire lenght of the seminar.

But let's meet in the lobby during coffee break! See you then!

Thank you for arranging the meet up! It was nice to you, jill, and Karen. Hope
To meet up again next yr if not sooner.

 

[ameslouise]

Yes, it was great to meet you all and I learned a lot too. I found the opthamologist's presentation especially informative and I liked him too (will keep him in mind if I ever need one!).

Oh, Jill, I forgot to tell you that your doc was goo-goo an gaa-gaa-ing over her baby in the lobby after the event. Seems she does have a heart after all!
