Hi Debbi,

Your MRI is beautiful!!!!! Don't you love the fact Ethel is a goner? I am so glad that went well.

My MRI....hmmmmm.....I need to do that and I am dragging my feet. I am being TOTALLY opposite from pre-CK.
I have been such a dizzy dame at times, I really want to hear it is dying, but I know that takes time. I will promise you I will call and make the appointment so next time we post I can proudly say I was brave and called. November 2 will be my 5 month "anniversary" of Goldie being zapped.

Take care,

Mary 8)

hugs to you!

Good for you, Mary!!  Make sure to put your MRI date on the calendar when you get it - I want to be sure to send cheers your way on the appropriate day.

Andrea, you are SO right - no more Ethel was such a good thing to see.  You know, I named my tumor after Ethel Mertz in the old I Love Lucy show (which I know that Mary and I are old enough to remember... ahem).  I was looking for the most benign sounding name I could find.  Thinking about having an Ethel in my head wasn't as scary as, for example, a Cruella or a Fang...

Hi Debbi,
I always wondered why you named your AN Ethel -- now I know.  Very interesting... and funny! ;D

LOL Debbi. I named mine Thing. Just an it, nothing fun. I did laugh reading on your blog about your "Ethel-ectomy" and I'm quite excited about my "Thing-ectomy" even though yours has a better ring to it.  ;D  Yeah, who knew belly fat in the skull could make you this excited? LOL!
