This Week 10/18 in the AN World
« on: October 18, 2009, 09:47:23 am »
This week:
Monday Debi (ghenier27) is having her surgery after being postponed on August 17th.
Debi we’ll be praying that your surgery tomorrow is successful, and without complication.

Wednesday Anissa (anissa) will be celebrating her 40th birthday.  Happy Birthday Anissa ;D

Saturday Keri (Keri) is celebrating her 49th birthday.  Happy Birthday to you too Keri ;D, and again congratulations on your first full marathon since your January 29th translab surgery.  You are an inspiration to us all.

Last week:
Congratulations on Keith’s (keithb) BAHA surgery, and Ronnie’s (Ronnie) translab surgery, both procedures were successful and appear to be without complications, that’s great news.
No news on Sharon’s (Sharonov) endosopic surgery last week, or Melissa’s BAHA surgery two weeks ago.  Hope all went okay.

We continue to pray for speedy recoveries for those of you who have already had your surgeries/procedures.

Rich & Scarlett

Yes, he posted that he's home and seems to be doing very well!  It's on his "surgery in NY" thread.

Good luck tomorrow, Debi!  Know you're very glad to get that thing out after your previous delay!

Happy B-Days, Anissa and Keri!  Enjoy the whole week!

Rich ~

Thanks, as always for the round-up of AN 'events' for the coming week.

Debi is excited about her surgery on Monday and posted a thread to which many have already responded, myself included. 

Happy Birthday wishes to youngsters Anissa and Keri!

May healing continue apace for Ronnie, Keith and all of our post-op patients.

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.
