Geeze, when was the last time you were at Border Cafe here in town, eh? :)

Karla, nothing like Mexican food out in S. CA, but yes, we do have good food here in the NE as well! ;)

Karla, I just wanted to say good luck. I lived in Pocatello for a while and am now back home in Billings, Montana. I  adopted a pound puppy from I.F. last year- 2 weeks before I found out I had a tumor.  I am just heading into my 1 year anniversary (May24, 2005) of tumor removal. (2cm)  I had Dr. Brackmann and it went great. I can't tell you not to worry (yeah right-not worry when there's something growng in your brain)  but you've got one of the best places to go and one of the best Doctors around. I was in, out and heading to the LaBrea Tar Pits withing 6 days of surgery. Everyone is great, Seton Hall is nice and this time of year the roses and trees are beautiful

I know that Billings is a little distance from I.F. but if you need anything-talking,questions, I'm just over the mountains and through the woods.....

Thinking of you! Mary

I tell you after reading all this talk about food and great things around the House I almost feel like I am going on a vacation. I am sorry that I have not responded earlier but life just seems to get in the way of my doing the things that mean the most. Finals are done and I did wonderful in spite of all of my stressing. Stress took its ugly toll on me by causing my asthma to flare up to the point that talking was out of the question and breathing was questionable. But my local doctor got on the phone with Dr. Freidman at the House and they decided to hit me with massive systemic steroids. Of course I could not take them orally, no we needed to inject the full dose. Oh well it was in my behind and like I told the nurse "that is a good thing because she could not miss that way" . I  am feeling stronger although rather wound up. I am also taking inhaled steroid in hopes that things will settle down. The House said they would just make sure to protet my airway during and after surgery.

I am still leaving on Sunday, with tests scheduled for Monday and surgery Tuesday. I will write again as soon as I can. I am hoping that surgery will eventually help with the exhaustion and headaches.

Hugs and love to all,

Karla

Dear Karla:

I am one of the new ones on the site.  I wanted to say hi and good luck.  I remember the days leading up to surgery as the most exausting days of my life.  When surgery was over it was the biggest relief of my life.  I wish for you a relaxing recovery.  It sounds like your life is very busy so do what the drs. tell you and take it easy.  I was so worried about getting a CF leak I bought milk in quarts so I didn't have to lift the heavy gallons. 

Hugs from Minnesota,  Kathy
