Hello Everyone
Hello all, my Name is Joe. I was hesitant at first to open up this forum, but I do look forward to a lot of the possibilities of some Topics that I have read.
I am from NW Indiana, retired from the Health Care Field. I do travel often to the Greater Phoenix Az. region.
I am a Surgical Weight Loss Patient of almost 20 Years, losing over 180 pounds. I am also a successful Kidney Transplant Recipient of 7 years.
when Nature allows, I take advantage of the weather and take long walks and enjoy hiking, especially when I am in the Southwest!
I'm an avid Coffee Drinker. When the wife and I travel we love to stop at various coffee shops and try their specialties.
Welcome to the group! It’s great to have you here, and thank you for sharing your story. Your journey is truly inspiring—20 years after surgery and a successful kidney transplant, not to mention your love of hiking and coffee! Sounds like you’re living life to the fullest, and it’s wonderful to hear. We’re looking forward to having you join in on the discussions and sharing even more adventures with you. Keep enjoying those walks and coffee shop stops!
