@travelgirl I look forward to the teleconference, too. What are some things that would be helpful to you as a new mentor?

@rosemarya I think learning more about each mentor in the group. I haven't had a whole lot of time to get know everyone , or go through the profiles of each mentor.

I was at Disney for my Birthday a few days after Colleen asked me to mentor. Then this past Friday I had a out patient surgery at Mayo in Jax. So my first month as a mentor I had alot of things going on.

I am eager to learn more about all of us, and each part we all contribute as mentors.
I think you have seen some my posts and I hope they insprire people?

Plus I'm like a walking illness, every time I turn around I have a new illness, I think I offically caught Old People Disease. My diseases are getting diseases. LOL.. Not really but it sure seems like it lately..

Seriously now.. As a mentor do we, or can we start a new topic in the groups about our own illnesses? I have a few recent ones and worries of my own. I could share with the group. I wonder myself if others go through them as well?

I think you saw me post about my left eye being referred for further observation for Glaucoma.

Now being the queen of research on Dr Google, I saw that some cancers can metastasis to your eye. So of course, I am over here giving myself panic attacks. Did my Follicular Lymphoma that is dormant do that? Or did my stage 1 Cecum cancer return in my eye? Could that be what they saw on the Optomat retinal eye scan they did? Yep making myself crazy till I see a ophthalmologist.

So can we add topics as mentors for others to see? Cause l'm turning into a poster child of walking Illnesses myself. LOL..

@travelgirl Jackie, we do, as mentors, share what we are going through also. Even mentors need advice and support at times. That is part of being a mentor; we walk the same walk as the others in our group. I look forward to our teleconference also.
