The week (Nov 23) in the Quiet AN World
« on: November 23, 2008, 07:19:47 pm »
So it looks like the only surgeries that will be done this week are some carving on a bunch of turkeys.

We do have three anniversaries.  Today, Sam Rush from Fresno celebrates his 4th year, Chocolatetruffle from the Bay Area celebrates her 1st year on Thursday, and Kate B from Chicago celebrates her 7th year on Saturday.  Congratulations to all of you.  And by the way, all three of you had your surgeries through House.

Marie's Birthday is today.  Happy Birthday, Marie.

And on Tuesday, Brian (Pooter) from Texas and Saralynn143 from Missouri have follow-up visits.  Best wishes to both of you.

And that's about it.  Compared to last week, a sleepy one.  Have a great week everyone and a happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S.ers.

A quiet week. Now that is something to be thankful for. Best wishes to all.  :)

It's seems like it's been a long time since we're had such a quiet week - but IMO that's a good thing  ;D

Happy Anniversary to Dr. Sam, Chocolatetruffle, and Kate - here's to many, many more!

Happy Birthday, Marie.

Good luck with your followups Pooter and Saralynn - hope everything is well with you guys.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone  ;D

YAHOO!!!!  I did my first year MRI a week ago and today Dr Brackmann responded to me with GOOD NEWS! there is no residual or recurrent tumor and my next MRI follow up is in 2 years.  Wow, hard to believe it is a year already. Time flies when you are enjoying a new lease in life  ;D

LA David, I remember our surgeries is like days apart, how is your MRI result? Hope all is well :)

Happy thanksgiving everyone!
