Someday, Bosda, you’ll look back on this week and laaaaugh…
Well, maybe not. But it will get better. Here’s hoping both you and your mom recover quickly and fully. 
Great to hear, Bosda! I’ll still be sending good wishes until both of you are back in perfect health.
(wild applause!!)
Bosda, this is wonderful news for you. I am very relieved and happy for you. See what the Power of the Dope can do for ya??
Your mom will be fine with all of us pulling for her. You’re proof of that!
Woo-hoo!
Excellent news :).
Sorry you had to go through that agony of worry, but at least you can relax a bit now.

Yay!! I’m glad things are finally turning around for you!
[Sauron] Excellent. We are pleased. We shall decommision Our most of Our orc forces immediately and close the Black Gate. We shall send a small contingency to help the antibiotics, and shall ready a Nazgul to fly swiftly and strike surely should the need arise. [/Sauron]
Great, great, great news! Hurrah! Will still pray for you and your mother, and hope and seek a swift, gentle, and full recovery for you both.

This was really a fun week for our little community…
Hang in there Bosda. Your mom and you can beat this! All of us here are behind you. Both of you are in our thoughts and our prayers.
Might one be permitted a w00t here?
Good news, Bosda. Happy to hear it. And Jenaroph stole the line I was hoping to be able to use right out from under me. 
I posted too soon. Just saw the excellent news… Finally a break! This is fantastic. One down, one to go…
Woo Hoo Woo Hoo Woo Hoo. Good news all around. Can I feel free to think my warm thoughts helped?
And I am wishing I had thought of it…
Hooray Bosda!!!
Oh, Thank you God.
See? See? See? SEE? That nurse that “suggested” that it might be an absess—I wondered if perhaps he/she had a pretty good inkling that it was an absess, but simply could not tell you that. (No use in getting your hopes up if they are wrong.) But I had a feeling that they had a strong suspicion. And they were right.
Whew!
Good thoughts and prayers go out to your mom and you.
Kick ass! Glad to hear everything is gonna work out fine, Bosda!
Excellent news for you Bosda
Hope your mum feels much better soon.
Phew.
Nice one. Well, it’s not nice to have an abscess, but it’s better than the alternative.
So who the hell gave you sleepless nights thinking it was a tumor?!?
Hope your mother gets well soon too.
Update on Mom
Mom had a shunt installed in the wee hours of the AM. Dad has talked with her nurse, & has been told she’s doing well, no complications.
we were told to stay away from the operation by both the MD (so what?) and by Mom (YES M’AM!), so we did.
I’ll see her today, after work.
Good news on both counts. I haven’t posted but have been keeping you in my thoughts…
(Isn’t it funny on a board chock full of atheists and agnostics we still pray - just in some sort of odd undirected fashion? Well, the intent is still there.)
