Hi All,

It's been a while.  I've been out of commission for a while.  Just been so lazy.  I'm finally back at work full-time.  I take a lot of small breaks (like now) when I feel a little tired.  It feels so good to be back, I really missed the guys I work with.  We are going full-force here with lots of construction work in the future.

Anyway, I was just dropping by to say to everyone since I haven't really been on the site for a while!!

Much Aloha,
Jan

Hi Diane,

I was fortunate enough to have met with Stanford's social worker, Michael Thomas.  He helped me find lodging for my stay at Stanford.  There's also a place on the message board where you can look.  You may also try sending an e-mail to Dr. Steinberg to let him know ahead of time that you are sending your films.  He will be in touch with you very soon about your films.

To answer your questions about me going so far away.  I had my mom with me.  I did not want to travel so far away without any family member.  My boyfriend couldn't make the trip and the next best person (whom I trust the most) was my mom.

Next issue:  Yes, I did notice a big difference after the surgeries.  I no longer have slurring when I speak and my handwriting has gotten a lot better than it was before I had the surgeries.

Thank for asking!!

Aloha,
Jan
