Today is my one year anniversary! YIPEE
« on: August 22, 2006, 10:07:09 pm »
Today is the official one year anniversary day from my An surgery.  I've come along way but I'm no where near where I expected to be.  Thanks to all (especially Deb, Kathleen, Raydean, Chet, Tony, Phyllis, CB, Suzie, Nan, Cheryl, lois, etc...) for helping me get through this past year!  I was def. sailing downstream fast before you guys came along and started helping me row!  I'm so glad to call everyone a friend and couldn't have made it this past year without all the love, support, advice, humor, and silliness!

Big Hugs to all!

Michelle

M

Its been one heck of a year for you and I'm so very very proud of you. You've come a LONG way... you have and remain steadfast in overcoming obsticles... and remember, over each obsticle is a positive outcome.

Hang in there hun.. the first year is done.. and now onward and upward! Great job! Have faith and stay strong!

Hey, Battyp, so glad you wrote to me last fall and winter during my surgery journey.  You are such an inspiration to me.  Congratulations! 

I made it to 9 months and I feel 99%.  Thanks for all your help.  I will keep thinking about you.

Hi there Michelle...

Congrats. on your 1st anniversary...as a 'newbie' I have gained a lot of inspiration from your posts which like your other 'wench' pals, have the' human' touch and greatly assist in travelling the scary and unknown AN journey with confidence and humour!

Very Best Regards

All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.
