This Week 7/13 In the AN World
« on: July 13, 2008, 09:38:31 am »
We have two events coming up this week.

First up, Sharon (Coffeylady) is having a Translab in Boston on Monday.  She's from Brookline NH, so I'm betting that she is headed to Boston today.  (Another New Englander -- are ANs contagious).

Best wishes Sharon.  Have a great surgery and a speedy recovery.  If you happen to see this, is there anyone who will update us?  My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

And finishing up the week, Jim Scott has his two year anniversary MRI on Friday.  Good luck, Jim.  May the MRI come back spottless.  I know you will let us know the outcome.

Have a great week everyone!

Thank you for Good Wishes  :D

My son has created a webpage on massgeneral.org/carepages so that everyone will have the same information at the same time.

I am headed to Boston on July 14th at 4:00AM - there will be no traffic and I expect smooth sailing at that time of day

Best wishes, Sharon.

Thanks for launching the weekly "on deck" post, David.

And I hope Jim gets a really dull and boring MRI.

Sharon:
I'm praying for a positive outcome with your translab surgery this week.

Jim:
Congrats on your 2-year anniversary. I echo Steves words in hoping your MRI results are dull and boring.

Best wishes, Sharon.  I can't wait to see you back here as a postie.  And I'll definitely check out the link you gave us for updates.  Hope all goes well  :)

Jim - keeping my fingers crossed that you have a very uneventful MRI.  Please let us know when the results are in.

David - nice start in your new job  ;)  Thanks.
