In total agreement Sheryl...had my 9th year scan last month and awaiting the outcome...will post the result in the 'Top Tips' thread when to hand but hopeful of a 'pass' which would take me to that magic 10 year milestone!

Regards

Jackie,

Fab news!

Remember we have a W & W patient in our support group... He turns age 92 on April 23rd... and he is still ballroom dancing!  :o

As I continue to deal with facial issues... I sure wish I had listened to Dr. Brackmann and went with his advice and expertise ...

But no more shoulda woulda coulda's...

I got my Baha  Valentines Day 2011 (very cool to hear from that side now)... and just got an I phone for my birthday 2011... apparently they can work together  8)... once I figure out all the new technology (which is rather intimidating to me still  :-\ )...

We just gotta keep moving forward. I think waiting is not a bad thing as with medical improvements and technological advancements happening at the rate they are... "if" you choose treatment things maybe be so way far more advanced in medicine that treatment may not have to be as invasive as what I had done.

Great News Jackie!!!

HUGS

DHM  :)


P.S. Wow 92. If you and I are both still around when you are age 92 I promise to take you out to a 5 star white linen table cloth restaurant... at that age no one bother to count calories...

Hey Jackie & DHM...

It would be most interesting for those of us in W & W to know how long the 92 years old gent has been diagnosed and whether he has any 'Top Tips' worth passing on...I sure wouldn't mind still having my AN if I can make it to his age and hopefully beyond! :)

Here are the accessories so you can plug i-phone (or i-pod) into the baha.

A) He has a great sense of humor.

B) He dances

He had the diagnoses at least a decade ago.
