K -

all I can say in my defense is - someone has to be the good, naive, wholesome one   ::)

Lori and I definitely missed the boat on that one  :D

Julie:

Although your abbreviation for 'follow up' certainly elicited some valiant attempts at avoiding using it as the vehicle for risqué humor, I understood it (well, it did take a moment) and I wanted to congratulate you on this milestone.  I hope every future MRI is equal to this one in showing no further growth.   

By the way, I checked with Starbucks®:  A high post count here and $2.75 will get you a tall Caffé Mocha. :)  However, I can appreciate the time and effort expended by those with post counts in the stratosphere (Phyl, Jan) and recognize that these folks are vital contributors to the forums and their high post counts are simply emblems of their dedication.  Unfortunately, they aren't redeemable for cash.  ;)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I don't know about you Jim, but if it were me, I'd tell Phyl to skip the Grande Caffe Mocha and give me the keys to the moderator's Leer Jet for the night  ;)

I've flown glider planes.  I'm sure it has to be about the same as flying a Lear Jet  ;).  Wait a minute, I still have problems driving a car.
