Then on Wednesday, Brian (pooter) has a date with the Tube o' Gloom.  Brian, being a musician, maybe you can come up with a song based on all the booming and banging in the Tube.  It would make an interesting bass line.

Finally, on Friday, Brian (pooter) is celebrating his one year Retro Sig anniversary.  Wow, and it just seems like a year ago.  Celebrate big, Brian.

Why does the book that goes like "hands and figers, hands and thumbs, dum diddy dum diddy dum dum dum" come to mind?  :)

Jan:  I know, it seems like yesterday when I was here asking all sorts of questions about what to expect after surgery, etc..  I was so ill-informed.  Not that I am much more informed now, but I have the experience to talk about.  Thanks for the help!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  I've been busier than a one-eyed cat watching 2 mouse holes so I haven't been around much lately.  I guess it helps to keep the mind off of the MRI trip tomorrow.  I'll report back when I know something.  My Dr. visit is on 5/18 to review the results.

Regards,
Brian

I hope he's off somewhere exotic having a wonderful time, too.  But if he is, I hope he doesn't stay too long.

Who would do the weekly update if he doesn't return??  It just wouldn't be the same without David  :(  :'(

As for me, my MRI results arrived in the mail yesterday and, although I have no MD behind my name, I think the radiologist's report says I'm "clean".  I'm waiting for my neurotologist's official confirmation before I celebrate though - since he does have an MD behind his name  ;D


Official word today from my doc - my MRI is clean  ;D  Celebration can start now - just in time for Mother's Day - I wonder if the kids will make me breakfast in bed.

Next MRI in one year.  Life is good  8)

Jan ~

My heartiest congratulations on your clean MRI report. 

Happy Mother's Day!  :)

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.
