Thanks, Debbi!  Your story was really one of the first one's I followed in the early part of my AN "journey."  You were always so positive and upbeat throughout all your many ordeals with your surgery and recovery.  You set a great example for me to go by!  And, of course, as a recipient of your Magic Scarf, I am especially grateful to you!

Tammi!  Great to hear from you! Glad to know you're busy!  You're so right -  one must keep moving!  Do hope to see you at our winter support group meeting - we're also sort of talking about getting together for lunch sometime in the next few weeks.  Watch for details when and if they emerge...

From a newly annointed member of the AN community, I offer my congrats to you Cindy!!  I think a lot of us newbies really enjoy seeing how life is AFTER all this crap is over and done with, what people have accomplished, whether good or bad.  Gives us hope and encouragement.  I will look forward to posting MY one year anniversary thing!! :)
