First let me begin by saying that I had a wonderful time Sat . at our mini Palooza . It was great to get a chance to meet everyone .Jerseysue Thanks so much for coming out here and making this all happen . A big thanks to your Sister for picking me up . Sue, Suzanne , Kerry , Kay and Jana I had a wonderful time and made my day to be able to meet all of you in person .
I had the first part of my Sir Sphears treatment two weeks ago . This was just to go in coil off the veins to my stomach and determine whether I could have the procedure . All went well . I had a Dr, Appt the other day and he said he couldn't ask for better results . Tomorrow I will go in and have the Sir Sphears injected . I know that a few of you asked me to keep you informed . The Dr. said I may be out of it for a few weeks . I will update you as soon as I can .
Take Care and God Bless
all my Love .
Debra

    Hi Debra -

    Thanks so much for the update. We'll all be thinking of you as you get this treatment. Let us know how it goes - it sounds like it has lots of promise.

    Your mini Palooza sounds like huge fun - assume this was in Texas (a great state I must say, since I lived there for 15 years!)

    Take care,
    Betsy

    Hey Cap. Sponge!

    Every time you say Ahoy I get the mental picture of the chocolate chip cookie muchkins on the Chips Ahoy bag :)

    ...well, that and Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Buu-kay) in a BritCom series on PBS.
