Kathy and Sara – Thank you. I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Florman and feel that the surgery went well. With some rest and possibly a little physical therapy, I should be good as new in a few weeks.

I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time with this. I hope the surgery went well. I’ve been thinking about you and hope to hear soon. Good luck! Love you!

Sue – Thank you. I appreciate your concern and support. If I don’t keep everyone posted, I know Brent will. ;-)

Lisa – Your ex has faced quite the adversity! You have to be a pretty strong and positive person to deal with challenges like that. I’m happy to hear that about Dr. Florman though.

Sweet, funny, and a philosopher? Lisa, you’re too kind. Ha ha! You always made me laugh. I guess I should be better about blogging regularly. ;-) I look forward to seeing you!

Hey Woman,
You are one brave cookie. My tumor is an agressive, recurring desmoid (not cancerous) in my abdomen wall, with a 50% chance of recurrence. And I thought that was stressful…not so much after reading about yours!

As a dear friend of mine (yes, the quadriplegic ex-bf)says “Remember, there is ALWAYS someone who will trade places with you”. This is certainly not meant to trivialize the gravity of your situation, but I suspect there are some who would trade for your problem too…(He’s one of ‘em..he’s had 30 brain and back surgeries, having had Syringomyelia for many years) He had an emergency shunt repair by Florman last year, and was quite impressed.

I’ve gone back to the beginning to read all your posts – I remember you as being sweet and funny as hell, now I see that you’re a philosopher too! I will make a point of following your blog from now on…you’ve gained a fan. Good luck, woman! See you Wednesday or Thursday – Be well!!!

Kirsten,
I am sorry to hear that you are still fighting that pesky tumor. I sincerely hope everything goes as well as possible for you. Trying to go to school while dealing with a significant health issue must be very challenging! Try to hang in there and take good care of yourself! Keep us posted…
