The week's (5/10) update
« on: May 09, 2009, 09:30:38 pm »
Going to be a quick one.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms.

Sara (saralynn) has a follow visit at the Facial Nerce Center on Tuesday.  Best wishes Sara.

Also on Tuesday, it will be a year since Steve and Jim became moderators -- still keeping us in line.

On Thursday, Ron (RES) from Wisconsin is have a mid-fossa at the University of Iowa.  Best wishes Ron.

And on Friday, Melissa (Melissa778) celebrates her first year anniversary.  It's been a rough year, Melissa.  Here's hoping the next is better.

Have a great week.

Thanks David.  Sounds like your busy, so it's nice you took time out to update everyone.  We are going to rent Transformers again, and I told my son I have to find the red socks! 

Best of luck to Sara and Ron.  Steve and Jim we appreciate you so much.  Melissa, the next year will be better for you.

Thanks David.  I added my follow-up hearing test on May 19.  I expect an early one-year MRI will be scheduled at that time.  (I'll be out of the country for six weeks so I wanted to get this over with early).
Best,

NancyMc and all,
I'm going (back) to Italy where I will help run our opera program.  We'll have 85 singers, instrumentalists and faculty in Arezzo, a beautiful Tuscan town just south of Florence.   I had intended on being fully healed by now, but it looks like I'll be taking my issues on the road.
Ciao!

Good luck with your surgery Ron.  I'm confident everything will turn out just fine for you.  Will anyone be updating us on your recovery?

Sara, best wishes for a great appointment at the Facial Nerve Center.

Melissa, I sincerely hope you get your sinus issue cleared up so you can go on to the BAHA.  I think you'll love it  ;D  Congratulations on being a postie for a whole year now!  Plan some type of celebration; you certainly deserve it.

Jim & Steve - thanks for moderating us with a firm, but gentle hand.  Hope that doesn't all change now that Phyl has bequeathed you both whips!  ::)

Guess Lori and I will have to learn how to duck faster  ;)

David:

My usual thanks for yet another in a continuing series of informative updates on our extended AN family.  :)

My best wishes and prayers go out to Ron as he approaches his AN removal surgery on Thursday. 

May Sara have a productive follow-up visit on Tuesday.

Happy one-year Anniversary to Melissa.  I pray for better days for Melissa.  She's certainly earned them. 

Has it been one year as a moderator already?  Can I put in for a raise, now?  ;)

David -

Thanks as always for the update.  I hope you win your fight with the IRS.

Ron -- Good luck -- is someone posting for you?

Sara --- I hope your appointment at the Facial Nerve Center goes well.

Melissa - Happy One Year ANniversary.  Hopefully the next year will be much better.

Jim and Steve -  Happy anniversary.  You deserve a pay raise but you'll have to talk to Phyl about that!   ;D

Ron, wishing you only the best for a successful surgery on Thursday.

Hope your Dr. has good news for you Sara on Tuesday.

Happy anniversary Melissa.
