Sleepy D (has a nice rhythm)

Wishing you all the best in the upcoming surgery from down under. 

Take care, enjoy some family time and I look forward to reading more of your journey when you are a "postie".

I don't know about the others, but I really think that it is great the way that you have joined right in with us and are active here.  I guess sometimes we think of DOCTORS (& some think of themselves) as someone that is far above us mere "patients."  I guess what I am trying to say is that I know you have an AWFUL lot going on and you still take the time for us - it has not gone unnoticed by me that you take the time the to address EACH person in your posts that have responded to you.  I certainly don't do that!!    I also can tell that you want to help others and I get the feeling that you will hang around as long as you can to do that or will be a medical contact we can get in touch with if there is a question.  Anyway, thank YOU for all you are willing to contribute!

All the best DOC,

A successful operation, a speedy but not too speedy recovery and no headaches or facial pain or other lingering reminders. 

Many, many well wishes from Southern Ontario,
Anne Marie

Best of luck, D.

Hope everything turns out exceptionally well for you.

I echo K's sentiments.  It's nice to know that someone as busy as you can find the time to participate with us on this forum.  Your insight on many matters has been very enlightening.

See you on the "flip side" postie

I guess I missed the date - when is your surgery?

Dufreyene,
I must have missed the date too -- I looked on the AN calendar and didn't see it posted.  If your surgery is very soon, and it sounds like it is, you have my best wishes and prayers or a great outcome with no complications.   I look forward to hearing how your surgery went and hope someone will be posting for you.

OK...I went back to the first post and it just says "the end of October"...so let's just start praying now, OK??

Hey, Dr. D-

If you play your cards right, you may be able to greet the trick-or-treaters wearing your festive post-surgical head garb!  As for me, I'm just going to scare 'em with my pirate smile!  Since my "Marty Feldman Eye" is almost normal looking now, I no longer have that in my bag of tricks!   
Debbi, getting ready to spook the kids

K -

you're right.  I never did see D's surgery date put on the calendar.  I read in his first post that it's with Dr. Jackler @ Stanford at the end of October.

From his last post I just figured he was saying goodbye prior to surgery - either that or he's taking some time off from the forum to research that burning cancer/cell phone question.  As for me, I think I'll work on that whole economy thing 

Hope D returns soon, and as you suggest, in the meantime I'll pray for his swift recovery.

Hi Doc,

Wishing you best!  Is it true Doctors and nurses make the worst patients?

I know you are going to receive excellent care.
