My "scribe"
« on: May 13, 2008, 10:29:43 am »
Just wanted to let you all know that my wonderful friend Jaime will be posting for me on Friday to give you all an update on how everything goes Thursday.  She may try to update Thursday night depending on when my hubby contacts her.  Thanks all for the well wishes.  I most likely will not log on tomorrow because we have a busy family day planned.  Thanks all....see you on the other side when I'm a postie!!  :)

Melissa -

thank you for letting us know you'll have a scribe - and thank Jaime for taking the job.

Try to relax a little bit tomorrow before your big day.  It's normal to be nervous, but put yourself into the hands of your very capable doctor(s).   You'll sleep through the entire procedure and you'll be a postie before you know it  :)

Best wishes,

Jan

Melissa:

I'll be praying for you and thinking of you on Thursday, cheering you on and fully expecting a great outcome.  I know you'll do fine and I want to thank you ahead of time for your foresight as well as thanking your friend Jaime for being your 'scribe' and our connection with you as you undergo and then return from surgery.  Get some rest and try to remain as calm as possible as you prepare to become a 'postie'.  :)  See you soon!

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.
