My Caring Bridge Site
« on: June 21, 2012, 08:50:50 pm »
Hello all you wonderful forumites!

I will be having surgery on July 3rd.  My Caring Bridge site is now up.  Because this is a public forum, I don't want to post the address here, but if you would like to see it and follow my progress, please send me a PM with your email address and I will give you access.  My gracious partner will be posting updates, when I am unable to type.

Thanks, Karen,

From you signature, it looks like you are in line, not far behind me.  Who will your surgeons be?

Hi Liz,

Yes, I'll be following you and will be very interested in hearing as many details of your process that you are willing to share.  My surgeons are Friedman and Schwartz.  I'll add that to my signature.

I hope you are enjoying the summer days,

Yes!  Brian and I met yesterday and talked for a long time.  It was very encouraging.  This was my first face to face meeting with another AN-er.  I'm hoping we can round up a few more in Austin.

Thanks for the good wishes, Jan!
