P.S. to everyone else:  Laura and I have become close AN friends because we share the same doctors and the same facility, Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. I'll follow her translab with my own in a few weeks! Laura will be such a big help to me as I prepare for mine! Thank you Laura!

Brenda -

I just love hearing forum stories like this one.  It's one thing to connect on the forum, but the ability to be physically there for another AN patient is just so incredible to me.  It always reminds me for the great group in LA (David, Nancy, Lainie, - did I forget anyone?) who take the time to meet newbies who are having surgery at House.

I hope this is just the beginning of a great friendship full of love and support for you and Laura.

Wishing you both the best,

Jan

Laura,

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow and looking forward to the updates from Barbara.

I'm glad you've got Brenda close by, too. There's something very special about AN friendships. (I saw my AN friends today - they're the best.)

Sending lots of prayers and good vibes your way,

Nancy L

P.S. - Thanks, Jan. :)

Laura,
I agree, that's great about your doctor praying for you. I'll be praying for you too! I know the prayers of my friends / family of my church sustained me throughout the whole waiting for diagnosis, decision process, waiting for surgery, surgery, recovery, etc. We look forward to hearing from you as a postie. And seeing fashionable pics with your head dress and fancy AN scarf!

As a Christian, I am in awe of surgeons who pray with their patients.  You, as a team, have truly put everything in God's hands.  Bless you, Laura.
