ANA Forum Motto / Flag
« on: December 16, 2009, 03:38:25 pm »
In honor those who have been treated, those being treated as we speak, and those who have not yet been treated (basically, all of us), here's a gentle reminder of our motto around here:



Arrrgh!

Brian
Diagnosed 4/10/08 - 3cm Right AN
12hr retrosig 5/8/08 w/Drs Vrabec and Trask in Houston, Tx
Some facial paralysis post-op but most movement is back, some tinitus.  SSD on right.

Brian ~ 

Thanks for the conception.  I think the motto is perfect, the skull & bone + dagger images perhaps a bit less so - but the overall concept is excellent.  Well done.

Jim
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.

Shouldn't the dagger be digging into the side of the skull?  :o

Pooter,
  Excellent motto.  My motto this week, when ever some dilema arrises, has been "What would Tiger do?"  ;D
Call Shanghai, we need wristbands.
Regards,
  Rob
