I hope I'm not stepping on any toes ;) This week 8/16
« on: August 16, 2009, 10:59:10 pm »
Tommorrow is a pretty busy day on the calendar, and we wanted to wish everyone well :)

Well by now the Symposium is a wrap, and we hope a good time was had by all, safe travels to everyone.

This week our thoughts and prayers will be with Bubbles (Wanda), Foodsmarts (Helen), ghenier27 (Debi), Patrick (texsooner), and Kathy M (her 3rd) as they have their CKs, Surgeries, and 1 yr. MRI.  Hopefully there won’t be any surprises, and excellent results will follow.

Happy Anniversary to Cathy (Dog Lover), and Daisy Head Mazie (DHM aka “4”) as they celebrate their 1st and 2nd years as Posties.

Keri, I hope I didn't hurt your toes, that was not my intention.  I'm off to work but couldn't leave without sending best wishes ;)

Hi Rich!  Thank you for the updates! [Do i remember that Keri is on vacation this week?]

Thoughts and prayers to all having procedures, and follow-up MRIs - may they go swiftly and be uneventful.  Please send updates when you can!
For those having treatment anniversaries - congrats!
Best wishes to those celebrating "special" anniversaries!

Sincerely,
Sue

My vacation is only a mental one!
Thank you so much, Rich!
I'll be back - I miss everyone on here and haven't been on the forum as much as I'd like lately.

Thanks for the well wishes!  You'd think after 2 surgeries, I wouldn't be nervous, but I'm a bit uneasy tonight.  Have to be at the hospital at 5:30, so at least I don't have long to wait.  Here we go.......

no facial nerve or eye issues!
3 more surgeries related to staph infections & osteomylitis over next 13 months.  New diagnosis of breast cancer.  Treatment completed 08/27/10.  Moving on!!!

Best wishes, Kathy, third time and all that. :)

Good vibes to Wanda and Helen and the CK team at Stanford. Say Hi to Larry!

And best wishes to Debi for your surgery. F3D!

Happy anniversaries and clean MRIs to Patrick, Cathy, and DHM. Unbelievable how time flies.
