Mornin’ Everybody:)

It seems like there is no rest for the wicked, LOL:)

I’ve gotten a call from the President of the St. Paul’s Medical Foundation and also from the Media Manager of UTSW Hospital.

They are going to run me and Dr. D’s story on our 1st DaVinci experience together for their trade magazine and the article will touch on some life issues, like the tornado we lived through back in 2000.

This mag is distributed among the Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgeons and touts the technologies available at the hospital and the surgeons themselves.

I’m scheduled to go back to the hospital on the 25th for pictures and am waiting to proof read the article that was written. The publication would be out somewhere late July or in August.

I’ve asked if I could have copies of the magazines to give to my friends and they said they would accommodate me on this.

I’m not sure of how many to order or how many I would receive, so I was wondering if I could get an early “Head Count” on who might be interested in receiving one of these?

Right now, I’m just looking for a count – and later (after surgery) you could send me a PM with your address, so I could mail you one, if you were interested in having one.

My feelings won't be hurt if you are not interested and don't want this post to make you feel like you are obligated one iota. Just trying to test the waters and get a head count so that I can order them.

I want to do my part and help out the hospital – maybe they will give me a discount on the surgery and future scans, LOL:)

    Hi Craig,

    Wow you are turning into a Rockstar, you deserve some recognition after all you have been through. I would also like a copy if you can. When the time comes pm me so I can get my address to you. I would also be more than happy to pay for postage. Just an idea here, do you have a PayPal account? I would be more than happy to donate some extra $$ to help cover postage for those who are tight on money, so they to can get a copy and you don't have to bear the cost of postage. I'm sure others would help to.

    Hi Sue

    It's titled: June 9th, 2009 – The Day My Life Changed – “Year ONE on the Board”

    On the first page about 11 posts down.

    And thanks for giving it another reading - I know how it is when you're at work - my stuff is never quick, LOL:)

    Best to you - can I count you in for a copy of the mag? Think about it and let me know:)

    You sir, are a man of honor and character:)

    I don't have a PayPal account, never wanted to tie it to my bank account.

    We can take a look at your generous offer though - let's see how many folks are interested and we can see what we're looking at. We could figure something out.

    I'm definitely going to have to buy some mailers to put the magazine in, as well as postage but again we'll see what the consensus is among our members.

    I hate to put people out, you know I like to give and not take.

    I know there are many people here I would love to send this too - but we need to hear from them.

    I thank you, Don, for your kindness - when the rubber hits the road, I can always count on great support from all of you.

    You made my night!

    Count me in!
    Craig,

    I would like 2 copies if possible...one for me personally and one to give the Cancer Center at my local hospital. Having them autographed would be a big bonus!

    I too would be glad to help with the costs for the mailers, postage etc.

    PM me when you get a handle on projected costs...will be glad to send contribution ahead so you don't have the up front costs.

    Bunches and bunches of positive thoughts and good wishes for fantastic outcome on this next procedure.

    Awesome
    This would be awesome to receive. You have been such an inspiration to all of us and to see it in print would be just a positive possibility for all. Please put me on your list. You should have my address from the wonderful CD you sent me at Christmas but if you have don't have it anymore please PM me. Craig, you have given all of us so much hope for the future by what you have elected to do as a first time DaVinci patient in TX and another one coming up. So very proud of you.
