I had my surgery at house 1 month before you had yours. Same doctors
I saw that you were just getting some movement in your face. I have just started to get some as well. I was interested in your baha as I havent even been offered that option by Dr. Brackman. Did you have to ask or did they bring it up as a treatmant? Dr. B want to do the hypoglossal surgery on me but I dont want to do it. I actually feel like I am getting some facial healing and know the surgery will end any chance of my nerve healing on its own. I m sorry if Im on the wrong thread, I dont always understand how this forum works.
I just felt that our situations were similiar.
Thanks

Joef didn't you get the memo...we're boarding up the BPW and heading for your parents house :o) We thought we could all stay with you there ;D There are quite a few of us trying to go but being out of work I know for me I'm waiting until it's closer before I make definite plans. It will be great to meet everyone!
-
My husband and I are going and extending our stay for a vacation.
Joef, I can't wait to meet your parents, hope they have enough space for all of us ;) and place to dock the PBW
I saw in the current issue of ANA notes that more info about the symposium will be in the December issue

I'm hoping to convince hubby to make a family vacation of it. There's tons to do in the area with small children, so it's a great excuse! And my parents are just a couple hours south of Philly, so they could join us for part of it.
Still in the planning stages, though. DH does *not* like travel, so I have to work on him for a few months before making any definite plans! ;)

SERIOUSLY THINKING OF GOING. CAP'N DEB SAID THAT DOUBLETREE HAS SOME SUITES THAT SLEEP 6. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT GETAWAY "BREAK" FROM THE FAMILY. BUT MAYBE I NEED TO LOOK AT MAKING IT A FAMILY VACATION. EITHER WAY, I'D LIKE TO GO AND CHECK OUT ALL THE HEARING DEVICES.

Kidding....my other half has a conference the next week in Montreal, so I think we're going to make a time of it!

My hubby and I are talking about coming as well. I have family that also live about an hour away in Quakertown.
It will be exciting to meet everyone and put faces with threads :P

I guess my parents should but the roll away bed on stand by! ;)

-
OOOO Dale's party bus to Philly! Even better!!! I can bartend!!!! :D
-
I want to be at the party too! I'm hoping dh & I can work it out so we can go too. We can have an ANA forum party!
-
Sounds like you guys are going to be having a lot of fun!! I have this vision of that bus in the Muppet Movie, rolling cross country picking up everybody....

I'm definitely going, but I need a roomie to share my hotel room (NO, Laz! )as I don't know if Dr. Love will be joining me, although I may try to talk him into it as there will be other spouses there for him to play with and the Phila Museum of Art is there. Unless I can crash with RTDale and the other 10 people staying with him!!! Doubletree is posh!! Pool, jacuzzi, sauna, etc.

Deb,
If I end up goping solo, I'll share with ya. Cept' I don't have any pirate jammies. My hubby travels so much it would probably be had for him to go with anyhow. Cheryls hubby is a business traveler too, we'll see if she's going. I would just need to get kid care lined up. Too soon to make definet plans yet. Maybe we should at least make a reservation, does it fill up far in advance?

yeah lets all room and have big pj party..how long will it take before the kick us out of the doubletree for being too noisy? LOL

For those that are planning on going to the Symposium please hold off making your reservations till the information comes out in the ANA Notes. Not only will there be additional information, it will actually help the ANA. In the past the ANA has had the Hotel hold a block of rooms to be used for the symposium attendees at a special rate. When making a reservation it'll be VERY IMPORTANT that you mention you are part of the ANA group. The reason is, in order to use the meeting rooms at the hotel there must be a minimum amount of people staying at the Hotel. Otherwise the ANA will be charged for the use of the meeting rooms. ( A considerable amount when you add up all of the rooms used) So please hold off till the info appears in the ANA Notes Quarterly. Registration, Hotel, seminars info, and possible airfare discount will all be included. For those that don't receive ANA Notes, those of us that do, will help to keep you updated. It's really important that you hold off so the ANA will receive the correct credit for attendees.
Thanks guys for listening

My B-day is in july, I think a trip to Philly would be a nice gift to myself. Don't you think

Raydean--I figured that we'd get a special rate for being part of the ANA symposium, (the most important part!--we're the one's with the ANs--it's all about us!) so I was definitely holding off.

Once again I must apologize about being out of the loop for a few days...when you live as a Nomad, you don't always have connectivity to the internet! Kathy emailed me and told me she semi-volunteered the Rock Star Bus for the trip...whoo-hoo! wouldn't that be a great trip, with a bunch of dizzy's (some probably from the alchohol) going down the road at 70 in a 40' weapon!
Unfortunately, I won't be available to go this coming year! I feel so good right now that I've decided to come out of retirement for awhile and am going to work at Adventureland Amusement Park in Des Moines, IA next year from May until Oct. I'll be the one running the Roller Coaster (and thats not one of my lame jokes, that is what I'll be doing!) I can only work these short stretches so it doesn't interfer with my Social Security:-)
It sounds like I'm going to miss a great time, but for those of you in the Mid-Country area, maybe we can work out a meet someplace up on the Minnesota border. Next time we'll see about tailgating the symposium...
