Funny how we call it happy, when it was not a happy experience. However our lives are richer by the experience and the friends we've made along the way! And you are doing a superb job helping others on the forum :)
Cheere :D

Happy 4th Jan.....are you still doing the annual "tube of gloom" visit?

Patrick

Yes, I'm still entering the tube of gloom on a regular basis. Last time was mid-April and results were clean ;D

I think my doc recommends one more annual MRI, then if there are no signs of regrowth he goes with every 2-3 years. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the nice sentiments, all (even if one was corny ;) )

It's been a pretty happy day - even sent my doc an email telling him again what an outstanding job he, the neurosurgeon, the intern, and the anesthesiologist did. Can't thank those 4 guys enough.

Best,

Jan

Post by: Keri on June 12, 2011, 08:34:26 pm: Hi Jan,
I'm really really late on this one.. been out of town.
I did wave to you in Chicago when I was on a layover last night (and my flight was delayed). Midway is not the most fun airport to hang out in. I would have called or come over, but it was getting late!
And so I'll join the others in saying "happy anniversary" or like Kay "crappy anniversary" (that was funny!).
I do thank you for all your advice and support here on the forum.
Keri
