Pattycake
« on: March 20, 2008, 10:28:04 am »
I heard from Pattycake.  She had surgery on Fri March 14 at Mass General with Barker/McKenna.  She went home the following Wed to CT, and it sounds like she's recovering really well.  No post-op complications.  They did discover she had a meningioma, and not an AN, but everything went well.

Katie -

thanks for updating us.  It's always nice to be able to "follow" someone's progress.  I'm glad to hear she's doing well with no complications.

 ;D So glad to hear Pat is doing well... It was such a pleasure to meet with her and her husband at a recent Brunch and hopefully we gave them both valuable info so Patty made the right decision for herself... 

Maybe she'll be up to joining us May 4th, altho CT is a little bit of of hike to Worc.   ???
