Hi everyone. Feeling better than I thought I would 4 days post surgery. Walking is pretty ok. Eyes are starting to work together better than they were. I should be discharged to Seton Guest House tomorrow.  :)

The doctors at House and the staff at St Vincents have been great.

Hi, Joan ~

Welcome to 'postie-land'!  Congratulations on your successful AN surgery and best wishes for a swift and complete recovery.  :)

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.

You're now an official member of the AN Club.   Remember to take tiny baby steps in the first few months.  Don't overdo.
