The world isn't ready for me and Jet to be buddies but I have to tell you its really nice to have someone right here and so close by that can relate and understand how serious it can be and know all the challenges.
Jet is great- yesterday he dropped everything and brought me up to my house I own about 45 min away to get the last few things out of it before the sale goes through tomorrow. He talks a LOT sometimes but what he says is usually relevant, lol and he is great company to keep!
I can see us being friends and being supportive of one another for years to come.
Yes, I am friends with tons of APS patients but none so close I stop by and have a coffee with or go swim in his pool,, go for a long drive around the lake looking for the castle (which we never did find!) other than Jet.
He met one of my daughters yesterday and you should of seen her face when I said I had met him on the internet, LOL! She wasn't sure if we were dating or just friends and I think at first thought I had just met him and seemed a little freaked out. He explained how we first knew of each other on this board that is based in the UK and the size of the world gets so much smaller as time passes by.
Thanks to HSF for connecting me to Jet and the many other patients here, there and everywhere! I am thankful you are all here for support and commiseration!
The best thing? Jet has already 'broken the doctors in' locally and now I can come in and storm them some more! Someday I am sure we will find that there are many other patients here but until then, Jet will be my local sludgeblood bestie!

jet is good. He is lots of fun and full of personality! Today I am heading out to his doctors appointment with him- its a long drive away and we are taking the scenic route and my good camera this time! No more castle adventures, at least not today....
When I am waiting I will keep doing the medical release forms to have my records sent to my new docs.... so far I have a list of 17 places that need to send records!! Why can't all these specialists be in one place?!
Fantastic that you two besties. He's a funny guy with loads to say, good fun to chat to, glad you going to appointment with him. A good guy to have in your corner hon!
I am really pleased for you both there is nothing worse than feeling like your on your own and it is great to see this community doing what it days on the tin bring people together to support one another .

Its great- I have tons of friends all over the world with APS and they are all treasures. Having one so close is a bonus. A couple more and we can start a support group!
Agree with all that has been said! My support group are my best friends cos they understand!! We have lots of laughs and I always feel better after we meet. One positive from APS!!!!
Hi Kristina I am so thrilled that you have found a friend so near with aps. You are so lucky ... don't get me wrong I love all you guys on here ... just because you know what aps does and the 'hell' it can cause, I just wish I wasn't the only one where I live ... well it feels that way any way. I wish you many years of friendship with Jet and with everyone on here too xxxx Trey xxxx
