Title: Zeeks M.R.I. report
Post by: zeek on August 14, 2008, 08:24:21 pm

Hey I have great news. My first 6 month M.R.I. showed no new regrowth. They thought they seen something on it, but upon further examination they said all was fine. So, next week I'm going on a vacation to celebrate. I don't have to go back until 6 months for another one. I hope, pray, and wish, that everyone on this site has as good results after surgery as I had. I went from being a drug dependant, depressed mess, to what I am today. In fact I'm planning a carribean cruise this coming winter to celebrate my next 6 month check up. The only long term lasting effects I now have is total loss of hearing in left ear. Good luck to you all.

Zeek:

Congratulations on the MRI report!  I just had a good MRI report, too, and know the feeling of elation that can bring.  How ironic that what seems like adversity can sometimes bring positive change, as it has in your life.  I wish you a fabulous vacation cruise and many good days ahead.. :)

Zeek -

first and foremost, congratulatiosn on the MRI!  Wonderful news!

Second - any room on that cruise for the rest of us?  ;D  I'm confident you'll have a wonderful time.

It seems like just yesterday, you were depressed about your AN and we were trying to encourage you to enjoy the good things in life.  I'm glad you're not depressed anymore and I'm hopeful we had a little something to do with that.

Although it's bound to make me extremely jealous, please give us a full report on your cruise when you return.

Jan

Thanks for the kind words. Next week a buddy of mine and myself are going on a vacation. Then as I stated earlier, I'm planning on a carribean cruise this winter. I'll check in when I can. And hopefully be of some help to someone out there. ( I have to have some time for FUN you know) By the way, I'm going to be on a board of a new charitable organization soon. Details later. Were trying to help some of the poor in India. Someone on here suggested such a thing for me, and to my surprise, it was dropped in my lap out of the blue! (Good therapy)

Sorry, Zeek, thought the cruise was next week.  I've got to stop reading posts when I'm overtired  :-[ - if that time ever comes  ::)

The charitable organization board sounds great.  Am hoping to find some time myself to do something like that one of these days.  Please give us details when you can.

Thanks,

Jan
