This Week (1/11) in the Fickle AN World
« on: January 11, 2009, 03:17:27 pm »
Back to normal.

There's a party at Stanford tomorrow (Monday).  Dr Chang is doing a double-header.  Not sure which order they're going in but Tisha and NE Farmwife are both having CK's at Stanford.  And, Debbie L is having a 6 month post-CK MRI -- and she may be going back to Stanford to have it.  So best wishes to Tisha and NE Farmwife for successful CK procedures.  And may your MRI be a clean one, Debbie.

Then on Tuesday, Kathy M from Ohio is having a Retrosig at the University of Cincinnati.  Best wishes for a successful surgery, Kathy.  Also on Tuesday, Connie (connie3245) from Texas is having a Mid Fossa in Anderson, TX.  May the surgery be great.  And in case you didn't know, Connie, there are a bunch of  ANer's in the Houston area -- Brian, Priscilla, and Brenda to name a few.

And finally, on Saturday the 17th, the Captain of this crazy venture is having a six year AN anniversary!  Happy anniversary, Capt Deb!

That's it for this week.  Hope everyone has a great one.

Time to run off to watch the Steeler game.

Tisha and NE Farmwife -- Wishing you both all the best and no sideeffects from your CK treatments.

Debbie - I hope your MRI is clean and clear!

My very best wishes to Kathy for your retrosigmoid surgery -- I'm sure you will be in good hands.  Please keep us posted or have someone do it for you.

Connie -- Good luck with your middle fossa surgery.  I hope the docs are able to save your hearing.  Please keep us posted.

Capt. Deb -- Shiver me timbers --  I'll be wishin' ye a very happy six year ANniversary -- ARRRRR!

Best wishes, Tisha and NE Farmwife. I hope Chang et. al. are ready to handle two ANA forum members at the same time.

Great surgery wishes to Kathy M and Connie. Kristin, if you see this, tell your Mom we wish her the best.

Capt. Deb, what can we say. How about a six gun salute from the good ship PBW! Oh, and a clean MRI for Debbie, of course.

Way to go Captain Deb.  You know what they say, Steve always buys for the sixth anniversary - so let him know what you'll have and belly up to the bar   ;)

Good luck to the CKers - and of course to my surgery buddies Kathy M. and Connie.

Wishing you all well.

Grog for all!  Hip, hip, hooray to our fine Cap't.  She's a fearsome leader, that she be.

Good luck to everyone with CK and MRI's and surgeries.  Huggles to all.
