My eyebrow moved!
« on: May 21, 2012, 07:56:06 am »
I am so full of hope! Tonight the inner side of my eyebrow moved!
This is the most exciting thing that's happened in 2 years :)

Hugs to everyone. If I was a drinker I'd have the champagne popped and drinking it straight out of the bottle - through a straw of course :D

Congratulations, Suu! 

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.

Great news! You had the 12/7 jump correct. Is that supposed to make your eyebrow move? I thought it was just a smile thing. The reason I ask is because I had the same surgery and this is something maybe to look forward too

Best Wishes,

You are so right about me disappearing. I'm back again but not as the old me. I'll explain in another post though and then get back to seeing who I can help and make laugh.
Love to everyone
