I think our recent unplanned hiatus proved beyond a doubt that the ANA discussion forums are a valuable asset for many AN patients, including this one.  I missed you guys and, like all of you, I'm glad we're back!  :)

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.

Should we pester them about getting the system clock set right? It is running about 15 minutes fast. Maybe safer to leave well enough alone...

8 mm left AN June 2007,  CK at Stanford Sept 2007.
Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

PBW ran a-ground (ie: system crash) over the weekend, Captn.  Scurvy scallywags were able to steer it back out to sea.  Although the waters are still choppy, Capt, we have set course for open waters.

Well, it's a fact now--we are all ANA Forum addicts.  Sound like a mess of withdrawals out there for a few days!!

So THAT is what that was.  I thought I hit a wrong button or something.  Whew!  Cyberspace is very lonely without the ANA.

I hadn't been on the forum in a while... when I finally got time to catch up and check in, well, that's when it crashed! So glad it's back. I hope it doesn't happen again with the new server or whatever.

OK and I see some of my walk / run/ jog/ workout people on here!! Check in on that thread too.. I need some inspiration!
