Amazing recovery! I DO like to read about these sorts of outcomes.

P.S. I know Cheryl to be HIGHLY intelligent because she is wearing a ski helmet. Excellent role model of inspiration she is  ;) ;D

hi Cheryl!

Someone from the forum forwarded me a link to your post and I was happy to look at the pictures and learn that you are fine. You also reminded me that on the NY it was 101 days since my surgery :) How's it working out with the kids? I am almost unable to say where the sound is coming from anymore... hope I am not gonna get attacked by a bear in the woods or smth. like that - I'll be careful.

Anyways it was great lo learn you were doing great! Happy 2010 to you, your husband (David?), of course, to Dr. Brackmann, Dr. Schwartz and everyone else on the team of doctors and nurses to whom I am thankful for my outcome. Happy New Year to everyone on the forum - it helped me a lot to tackle the problem and come out with a solution which is right for me!
