This Week 2/21 “2010” in the AN World
« on: February 21, 2010, 04:26:23 pm »
We still have a number of people for which we have no updates: 20acrewoods’ husband, Char, Marla, CF (CF), Adam (gte025u), and Tod (Tod).

We are hoping that everything went well with your surgeries and that you are recovering quickly.

Brenda (teffaz), had surgery to repair tissue breakdown on 2/5/10.  Sorry I missed your post on 2/7/10, but we are glad things went well.

Last Monday Denise (Denise S) had an encouraging appointment with her neurologist.  Denise it was nice to read that your recovery is proceeding swiftly.

Joyce (Jeepers) we hope your BAHA Gotcha Day on Tuesday proves to be everything you’ve hoped it would be.

Wednesday Kevin (Amplified2000) is having translab surgery.  Kevin you will be in our prayers for a great surgical out come, without complications.

Friday was to be Jo’s (tenai98) decision day.  We were happy to read that her little friend appears to have shrunk.  Great news Jo :)

Cheryl (Cheryl R) congratulations on your milestone of 1000 posts last Friday, your words of encouragement and wisdom have meant so much to us all.  Thank you for being you ;)
We are sorry to read that your husband broke his hip.  Hopefully his recovery/rehab will give him back complete mobility.  At least he is in good hands, yours!

Good vibes for all that are recovering,

Rich & Scarlett

Rich ~

Our collective thanks, as always - and my regards to Scarlett. 

Like you, I trust that the folks we haven't heard from as yet enjoyed successful, uncomplicated procedures.

My best to everyone listed for their respective situations and of course, my sympathy to Cheryl and her injured husband.  I, too, wish good recoveries to all.

Jim
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.

Tuesday is indeed Jeepers BAHA Gotcha Day - appointment is @ 2 p.m. to be exact  ;D  I emailed her this weekend and she's VERY excited to be getting her BP100.

I believe that Kevin (Amplified 2000) has cancelled his surgery this week (I just removed it from the AN Calendar) and is trying to decide whether to have surgery with Dr. Gantz in Iowa or Dr. Friedman @ HEI.

Char has checked in and is doing well.  Tod has also checked in after an amazing 32 hour surgery  :o  Hope to hear from everyone else soon.

Cheryl R - hope your husband heals fast.  

Thanks for the update, Rich.  I don't know what we'd do without you.
