thanks K!  :-*  I knew angel option#2 was very appropriate for 1 or 2 folks in particular! ;)

Phyl -
Congratulations on your great news!  You are much braver and more patient than I could ever be.  When I found out my options for treatment, I knew I could never wait two to three years to find out if my AN was dead and gone!

That's great news, phyl!  I'm so happy for you!  The waiting, anticipation and all that seems to be the worst sometimes! But, you made it through!  I'm doing the wobbly dance for you (not cuz of the AN, but cuz I'm white and can't dance). ;)

Never done the Happy Dance, but will sure give it a try today for you!

Fantastic news, Phyl!!!!!!! (David says late in the thread).  I am very happy for you.

Apologies for the delay in the wishes.  I had a wicked week dealing with some vicious neighbors who don't comprehend American laws.
Right ear tinnitus w/80% hearing loss 1985.
Left ear 40% hearing loss 8/07.
1.5 CM Translab Rt ear.
Sort of quiet around here.

Sorry for the hijack, Phyl  :P

David -

did the neighbor issue have to do with all their noise again?  :(

Hope things turned out okay.  If you don't want to talk about it "publically", feel free to vent to me via email or a PM.

I've had a rotten week myself - parts of it involved getting the locks on my house rekeyed because my daughter lost her wallet, having my car towed because it wouldn't start, and dealing with a realtor who's failed to delivery on her promises.

Here's hoping you and I both have better days in the very near future,

Somehow I missed this response.  I think angel #2 definitely looks like Lori.  But me  ???

Why, K, whatever do you mean??  :D
