Magic Scarf next journey
« on: March 22, 2012, 11:56:02 am »
I have the magic scarf and am looking to see who is next. I have to say this scarf worked its magic for me & would like to keep the tradition going. I had added to the journal.

Oh my....so you have the scarf eh? Welcome to the club! :)  It is quite amazing that tradition has still going on! I am sure whoever ends up with it next will surely benefit from it as we all have done! :)

Is the Magic Scarf's destination chosen by the person who last had it?  I'm curious because I think it would be great to have it during my surgery.  I read a lot about it and saw many pictures of those who have worn it on Nancy's posts.  It's been almost two years since Nancy has posted.

Lisa .....

I'm quite sure Dave (davecz) still has it after his surgery two weeks ago.  If he does not see this and respond, I will send him a note (or you can PM him).  I think he is still recovering from his surgery so has not been on here very much lately.

It's great to see that the scarf is still making its journey.  At one time it got a bit lost.  I've seen it pass through LA a few times.  If you happen to see this post, Mindy, how many entries are there now?  If memory serves, Debbi was the first to wear the magic scarf in about April 2008.  CindyJ did a history of it a year or two ago.

I made a copy of all of the pages up through mine, but I did not count the entries.  If Mindy does not know how many there were, I will look it up and count the entries.

Hope Dave is all right.  He has not responded to my email yet.

David I'm not sure how many enteries their were. I do remember reading the stories. I saw Davecz was online here yesterday. He didn't post. I'm sure he will when he is ready. I should have met up with you and the LA gang while I was there.

Just had an email from Dave.  He was back in the hospital/ICU with an extreme electrolyte imbalance.  Home now and doing better.  He asked me to post a quick note explaining why he has not been posting.  Hopefully he will feel up to it again soon.  A scary time, for sure!

Glad to hear he is doing better. I had low potassium during and after surgery. Was on IV for 2 days. Hope to hear from him soon.

Hmmm...I wonder if it has anything to do with the AN surgery.  Thank you for the update, Clarice.  I'm glad he is home and doing better.

Dave posted on his Caringbridge site today and assured us it is NOT from his AN surgery. Other issues. He may post it on here if he is up to it. Rest assure it is not from his AN surgery.

Hello everyone,

I just found this post. Sorry for dropping out of sight for a while. Thanks for posting my health update, Clarice. I'm feeling much better now. Well I'm happy to say that the magic scarf is safe with me right now. I put it to good use during my stay in LA. I'm so glad everything turned out fine for me after my surgery. Everything is going great now that my electrolytes are in order.

I wanted to let you know that we (at my company) created a really nice protective case for the scarf and journal. I will be sending everything to Lisa this coming week for her surgery in July. If there is anyone who would like the magic scarf prior to July, please let me know.

Here is a photo of the magic scarf in use:



And this is the new case for the magic scarf:

Dave ~

Congratulations on your recovery and kudos to you for the neat Magic Scarf case!

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.
