Phyl,

Glad to see that the list is growing, hey when did you update your picture?  Looks great.  Oh by the way,  Dr. McKenna told me that I would have an MRI in one year, Feb of 2010 and then on Friday, I receive a letter in the mail that one needs to be done in 6 months.  This will my fourth MRI in a year in a half.

LisaP  ;D

AN at 12mm by 7mm by 7mm,  shown no growth as of September 26, 2013, 5.5 years into this journey.  Next MRI 2015. Doctors: Mason and McKenna.  Continue to W&W

Hi Nancy,
Hope you will be able to be at the brunch.  I've been following your postings about your surgery and the surprise postponement and the continuing saga.  When I was considering surgery, Dr. McKenna would have been my choice.  You are in good hands. 
Take care,
Theresa (tsl)

Thank you, Theresa.  I would love to meet many of my virtual friends in person, not to mention attempt to eat one of those apple fritters.  Having a challenging goal is good for motivating the recovery mechanisms.  I've added back the visit to my son in Scotland but just two or three weeks after his 21st birthday rather than for it in May.

well, I got a "regret" from YogaSue  :'(  :'(  :'( and trust me, the brunch isn't the same without her (she gives great huggles) and will be sorely missed from our soiree.....

CrazyKat/RockerDood/Paul, this is the first I've heard from you on this... are you in town and will you be coming?  If yes, will that darling of a gf be coming with you or will she be in FL? Please confirm.

Stoneaxe/Bob, would be tickled to have you and "the boss" come join us! Added to the list.

Anyone else?

As it turns out, my family is coming south from New England to visit us here in Florida through the weekend just before the brunch.  Also, regardless of my driving skills, I will be returning to work that week (watch out!  :o ).  I do promise to try to make the next one though!
