Dear Friends,
I wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas (or whatever religious tradition you observe) and a great, tumor-free new year! I can't imagine going through the before/during/after of an acoustic neuroma without all of you. I just published a blog post recapping what I think are some of the funnier things about the acoustic neuroma experience. Please drop by if you get a minute and say hi.

Same to you Debbi, as well as to everyone who stops by your thread. And thanks for blogging on the lighter side of AN .... funny! ;D

Thanks for the Christmas wishes and of course, the same to you and your family.
I enjoyed reading your blog entries. Your sense of humor was apparently unaffected by your surgery and subsequent obstacles. :) Very well done.

Aw shucks ... thanks. I think we all know that a sense of humor is imperative to getting through the brain tumor experience intact! That, and friends who understand...
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to our AN Family, oxox :)
With Love,
Rich & Scarlett

it's been a while since I've read your blog and after reading it today all I can say is I'll have to read it more often ;D
The entries are very good and I can related to them so well.
Wish Wendy would have gotten her BAHA before me because that little tip she gave you about the cap coming off accidentally would have saved me a frantic early morning call - and a road trip - to my doc's office to have him put my cap back on. He probably thought I was a lunatic, I was freaking out so bad :D He suggested that I have one of my kids snap it back on, but neither of them would even look at my head ::)
Hope you and Willie have a great Christmas and that one of your favorite memories of 2011 will be your BAHA Gotcha Day.

my favorite part ...
Whirling Dervish – okay, one of my personal favorites. You are in a store and hear your name being called. You start twirling around trying to locate the source of the sound. Doesn’t work, so the person helpfully calls out “over here.†Great. If I had directionality, do you really think I'd be whirling around like a freaking idiot
I have sometimes did a quick side to side look and if I don't see who is calling my name ignore them ... if they really want to talk to me they will come over ... some will think me rude and go home and call my best friend (this would be her MIL ) and ask why I dislike her and won't speak to her out in public ... I honestly just didn't see her when I did my side to side look in Wal-Mart but she swears I stared into her eyes and then looked away and walked off ...
if I allow myself to go into Whirling Dervish I run the risk going into Bobbing and Weaving which can lead to Stumbling and Falling into things or into people or to the ground ...
keep up the good blogging ... like I have said often , If I don't laugh I may cry
