Right or Left?
« on: August 31, 2008, 07:29:37 pm »
Hi Gang,
Just curious are AN's more common on the right side? Mine was in my left side.
Dumb question just wondering.

Thinking of you all and wishing I had more time to read and write. Busy setting up my kindergarten room and planning my program.
Hugs to all of my new friends.

Not a dumb question at all, Michelle  :)

I think we did something similar to this before on the forum.

Anyway, my AN was on my left side.

Jan
Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

KEWL I thought most were going to be right but I guess not. Thanks for taking the time to answer, my brain is working over time now that it is not squished.  ;D
Have a wonderful week my friends - I am off to work. Paralysed face and all.  ;) ;) ;)
