Title: Post Postie?
Post by: onceagain on May 29, 2008, 06:26:52 am

This may sound a bit silly but I've never been known to avoid silly so here goes.  If you are a postie after AN surgery what are you after the second AN surgery?

Good question.  We should develop a whole new category of postie.  Maybe something like Postie x 2 or Postie Squared.  (I don't know how to type a little exponential number on a computer).

Maybe you should have the honor of choosing your own category name - since you and others like you are so special  :)

Tired?  :D

  If you undergo AN Surgery, and then Radiosurgery, are you a Post Toastie?  :)

Hi, onceagain:

'Post-postie' sounds about right.  For that matter, so does 'Double-Postie' or even 'tired'.  :)  I like 'Post Toastie' because I qualify for that title.  Lucky me. 

Hey, if we can't laugh (well, chuckle, anyway) we're only making a tough situation harder to deal with.  I choose laughter.  I'm glad you do, too.  ;D

I am going to have surgery plus radiosurgery this time so I guess I am a Post Postie Toasty. 
Jim, I agree 100% with you.  You have got to find the humor or you get overwelmed.  My kids just think I am weird.

So what if you've had two surgeries and then radiation? A "Toastie Post-Postie"?

Whatever you call it, I'm thinking you're highly placed in the bonnet competition!  Especially if you get that really nifty net thing that Phyl got ...  (See my surgery post if you missed the pics ...)

Debbi - just glad to be a solo postie!

What if you have surgery, then radiation, then go out and celebrate that it's all over with and that your AN is truly dead dead dead! Are you a Totally Toasted Post Toastie??

What if you stumble into a tattoo parlor?
Tattooed Toasted Post Toastie?  Say that one three times fast, you posties that need some speech therapy!!!

Okay, you guys made me laugh out loud.  A Post-Toasty.  That's a keeper.  You guys are great.  See my poem is right -" What good's a tumor if you can't use some humor..." 

And Scott, I'd just call  you "miraculous"!  Because if I had to have gone through what you did, I'd have been lucky to know my name!  I would have just been , "toast", I guess.


Keep on truckin' guys,

This bonnet competition is getting good!  I think I'm glad I'm not in the top 10!  But I coulda been a contender.

So, this summer, when Jan and I meet at the Jersey shore to sit on the beach with Maragaritas in hand, will we be a duo of Roasted Toasted Uni-posties?

Which reminds me... Jan which is your AN side?  Mine is the right.  We may have to do some creative seating arrangements in order to be able to talk to each other!  And when all of us are in Chicago next year....that should be fun.  I can hear all the "Huh?" and "What?"s already.

I would like to think of you more as Roasted Toasted Postettes!

Well, who is the Most Toasted?

Title: Re: Post Postie?
Post by: leapyrtwins on June 04, 2008, 04:52:08 pm

Hmmm, I've never been referred to as a "postette" before; but I kind of like the sound of it  ;)

Lori -

I'm deaf left - so we're bookends - but with our BAHAs it might not matter.

I think we should get Kaybo to work on seating arrangements for the symposium.  She seems very good at organizing things; I on the other hand am very good at delegating  :D

I have volunteered my services for the symposium, and I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet (registration ?) but I'm sure they'll let me sit with my fellow forumites.  And no, I'm not accepting any assignments to provide entertainment - I will leave that entirely up to Phyl and the Moderators!

As for sipping Margaritas, we fly into Newark on Thursday 7/10 and stay at shore (Spring Lake) through Monday 7/14.  I will have a rental car so we could meet at some beach if you are around at the same time.  I'm not sure exactly where Spring Lake is located, but my brother says it's fairly close to Sea Girt.  We go to NYC 7/15 and 7/16 return to NJ on 7/17 (staying with brother in Summit), then fly to O'Hare 7/18.

I'm also going to Minneapolis in early August for business if any forumites are in MN and would like to meet.  I can offer you a free show & tell of my BAHA  ;D

Jan,

How is the BAHA doing?? You just got the processor, right??  :)

Mary

Title: Re: Post Postie?
Post by: leapyrtwins on June 05, 2008, 11:24:57 am

Yes, just about 24 hours ago!!!

It's going well.  You can read more about it in the subject "Can you hear me now?"

I also posted some BAHA pictures - that my buddy Steve just raved about :D  They aren't as creative or unique as the bonnet competition entries, but I think I should somehow get extra points for having a titanium fixture implanted in my head.  Hell* Heck, just the hole that was drilled into my skull should be worth something  ;D 

Maybe I'll get Honorable Mention!

Jan

* Steve, keeping it clean  :)

Love your CK headgear, Mary! Glad to hear you are through the procedure!

After reading this thread, I'm a toasted post-postie, even without the help of booze or radiosurgery...
