CARRIE'S SURGERY IS TOMORROW
« on: June 23, 2008, 07:44:11 pm »
I didn't happen to notice it mentioned around the forum but Carrie's (CMP) surgery is tomorrow.

Best wishes Carrie for a very successful surgery and a quick recovery.  Is someone going to keep us posted?  My prayers are with you.

Please have someone keep us informed, and when you feel up to it, let us know how you are doing.

David -

we started without you.  You must have missed my subject under "AN Issues".  Here's the link http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=6742.msg67761#msg67761

Carrie has said that her husband is going to be her scribe.

I don't know when Dave Benz procedure is; if you do, could you put it on the calendar? 

We also need to start a thread for Lacey - 3 days til surgery!  Do you want to start something, or should I?

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

David -

I'll say it's a busy week - 5 surgeries, a BAHA processor (yea, catflower!), and a 1 year surgery anniversary for Ellenmn (a patient of 2 doctors who are near & dear to my heart  ;D )

After my post I realized you had logged off, so I started a thread for Lacey and included Liz H, Charlene, and Dave Benz.

I figured out that Dave's surgery must be on 6/27 if he posted on 6/17 and said his surgery was in 10 days.  I'm an accountant, can you tell ?   :D

I also put Dave's surgery on the AN Calendar.

Yes, Lori has referred to me as an overachiever  ::)

I didn't see your post.  I'm thinking that we need a dedicated topic like "On Deck" procedures where we can all give our well-wishes (Phyl?).  We kinda scatter things around the forum buried in another thread.  I think each surgery deserves its own original post.  What do you all think?

David -

I think that's an excellent idea - why didn't I  think of that  ??? ;D

The moderators seem to have enough to do just to keep Lori and me in line  ;)  Maybe we should assign someone and then give them a backup - since people take vacations, etc. 

Good luck with the IRS dragon! - actually "dragon" is a polite description, I would have said something else and hoped that Phyl wouldn't censor me  :D
