This Week (May 3) in the Tempestuous World of the AN

[LADavid]

Have a lot of updates to start out with.  Here are the one's that I know of:

Laura (allegro17) had her surgery at the SBI here in LA.  It was successful.  She did have issues with dizziness for the first few days, but she's doing fine now.

Debbi had her MRI and got the results immediately.  They were unremarkable!

Patty (cjtender) had her Retro Sig.  She had a bit of a rough time for the first few days but was fine by Friday.

Jan had her MRI and confessed that she enjoys them (Jan Jan Jan, you're giving the Tube o' Gloom a good name).  The results are in the mail -- at last check.

Sara (saralynn143) went for a follow up visit and got a car.  Talk about a non sequitur.  The follow-up btw was good.

Patrick turned 49.

And Jo (tenai98) had a good visit with her ENT.

OK, here's what's up this week.  Looks like a bunch of appointments and follow up stuff.

On Monday, Jo Joebloggs) has an appointment with the T o' G for a CT Scan and a follow up with the neurosurgeon.  Here's hoping all goes well, Jo.

On Tuesday, Wetever is having surgery at House.  Best wishes for a successful surgery.

Also on Tuesday (Wednesday too), Patty, (alwaysthere) has appointments with doctors at the Mayo Clinic.  Hope you get some answers, Patty.

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.

On Thursday, Anissa from Idaho has her one month check up.  May it be a great one, Anissa.

Also on Thursday, Jen (JWH) has an appointment with the T o' G for her three month MRI.  Jen, may it be unremarkable and may it be the last of what you've been dealing with for the past 6 years.

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.

And that's it for this week.  Have a great one everybody.

Thanks for another great update, David!

I had forgotten that Laura had her surgery at SBI.  That explains the tiny scar 

Good luck everyone, on the MRIs, follow up appts., tests, etc.  And a special good luck to Wetever on his surgery.

Congratulations on the 1 year milestone, Pooter!!  I remember when you were just a newbie!    You've come a long way in the last year.

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

PS - fellow forumites, please suggest some more adjectives to David.  Although I absolutely love tempetuous, I think we've used it before. 

[LADavid]

Jan,  I checked back through all the updates and I didn't see it.  There were some weird ones but I didn't see a Tempestuous.

In the tempestuous world of the AN, its tempestuousness is sure to come up more than once. No matter.

I thought that sounded familiar!!

Good Luck and prayers to everyone!

David, I hope you don't think I was picking on you, because as Steve said it doesn't matter.

It's just that I rely on you - and Jim Scott - to expand my vocabulary.  You both usually come up with words I am not familiar with - and I enjoy finding out what they mean.

I think tempestuous is a good word and should be used frequently.   

Thanks David for all of the updates. 

Wishing everyone good results.

I also think tempestuous is a great word. David, we don't thank you enough for the long laborious job you do every week. You do a fantastic job and keep us all informed. Keep up the interesting and knowledgable vocab,  I am awarding you a pay raise.

David:

Thanks, as always, for a comprehensive rundown of AN 'events' this week as well as a recap of last week's notable occasions. 

Wetever - wishing you a complication-free surgery at the famed House Ear Institute. 

Jo, Jen, Anissa and Pooter - may your scans be clear and your respective doctors elated by your recovery. 

Patty - may your visit with the doctors at the renowned Mayo Clinic be fruitful. 

Brian - have a fine 1-year celebration!  You've earned it.

Jan - I trust your MRI was 'unremarkable' .  I'll await the official report right along with you.  Good news is always welcome here.   

Jim

Thanks all!  I'll take all the good luck I can!  I also have my hearing test scheduled for this Tuesday (to check the good ear).

Jen

[leapyrtwins]

David, we don't thank you enough for the long laborious job you do every week. You do a fantastic job and keep us all informed.

This is absolutely true.  I think Steve should knit you a hat - light weight yarn of course, since it doesn't get too cold in LA 

Jan

Wetever, you’ll be in our thoughts for a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery.

Best wishes to Jo, Brian, and Jen for clean visits to the T.O.G.

I hope Patty, Anissa, and of course my wonderful wife Scarlett have great news at their Dr. appointments this week.

Happy Anniversary Brian on your 1 year celebration.

And, congratulations to all on a successful week, last week

Rich & Scarlett

P.S. Thank you David for this week's run down
P.S.S. I only just now added Scarlett to the calendar, sorry.

[NancyMc]

Wow, lots of follow-ups, MRIs, and an anniversary this week, including Scarlett.  Good luck to all.
Wetever is the focus with tumor treatment tomorrow.  Best wishes for a favorable outcome and speedy recovery.
And hoping you'll learn everything you'd ever want to know to make you feel comfortable about the road ahead, Patty.

Good luck to all having MRIs.  I hope they are clean and uknremarkable. 

Wetever -- Good luck on Thursday -- you are in good hands at House.

Jan -- I have to agree  with you on MRIs.  I only had two (only?) but I closed my eyes and  almost fell asleep the second time.  I actually find the closeness and noise comforting in some way -- I wonder if it reminds me of being back in the womb?

Prayers going out ot Wetever for a safe and fully successful surgery at House!
 
Hope the news is good for the MRI crowd of Jo, Jen, Anissa and Brian.
 
And good luck to all who have their check ups this week .
