3 year anniversary
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:02:52 pm »
November 8th was the 3 year anniversary of my middle fossa surgery at HEI. Just as last year, I forgot about it until the next day!! I rarely visit this site anymore but before and after my surgery it was a great source of information and support. Thanks to all of you who were in this journey with me!!

I only joined this wonderful group in April of this year, but congratulate you on your third anniversary.  I'm sure every year feels like a new victory.

Best wishes,

Three Years has a very nice ring to it. Hope to be there one of these days. Congratulations!

Drop in from time to time, as you have been doing, and be sure to post again next year for number four.  ;)

Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

Congratulations on your 'anniversary' and thanks for dropping by to share the good news.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
