This Week 2/14 “2010” in the AN World
« on: February 14, 2010, 07:58:42 pm »
There are several individuals for which we are still waiting for updates on their surgeries:

20acrewoods’ husband, Brenda (teffaz), Char, Marla, CF (CF), Adam (gte025u), and Tod (Tod).

Brian (lifeofbrian) had GK treatment without complications.  That is great news Brian. 

Kathy (Kathy M) we are glad that a treatment plan has been established.

We will keep you all in thoughts and prayers, for continued improvement as you recover, and the strength to fight the challenges ahead.

Happy Birthday (today) Phyl (ppearl214).  Regardless of your age, every birthday is a day to celebrate.  Hope you and Ian had a wonderful day.

And Happy Birthday to you Jim (Jim Scott) as you celebrate yours on Thursday.  We hope you and Tina have a fabulous day as well.

Happy Anniversary Lori (lori67) on Saturday.  Your 3 year Postie status is also one to celebrate, the more the merrier.

For all you love birds out there, Happy Valentine’s Day :-*

Rich ~

Please accept our collective appreciation, as always, for the weekly AN update. 

At my age (67 on Thursday) birthdays are not quite the cause for celebration they once were but I'm still grateful for every year I'm given - and I thank everyone who posted happy birthday wishes for me, including you, Rich. :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
