Debi ~

Thanks for the reminder!  Our collective thoughts and prayers will be with you on Monday.  We'll look for you as a 'postie'.

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.

Hi Debbi,

I've been thinking about you since my "offline post" to you wishing you well on your surgery day.  Pray all is well and you are now in the recovery phase doing as well as you can since it's only been a few days.  I, as well as those here, wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to your next posting. 

Rest easy and rest often, even if it's just 5 minutes of eyes closed--really helps throughout the day. 

Blessings to you and your family!
