Sandra ~

Thanks for the link to that list of actions which can help us retain our cognitive functions at a high level.  I try to do almost everything on the list and find that my cognitive functions are just fine pretty good, well, O.K., they're passable.  ;)

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.
