Hi fellow Andraxians, I just found out that my dear friend is in the hospital. Due to a genetic defect that forms in the embryo, she has developed a cancerous tumor on her spine (she's in her 50s). Apparently it's quite rare and will invade the spine and actually break it if not removed. That means her neck could break just from turning her head the wrong way. It took about 10 years to get to the point of causing pain, which is how she found out something was wrong. Anyway, they did one surgery a few days ago to put pins in her spine to stabilize it, and Wednesday another surgery will be done to remove part of the tumor. If they remove it all, she'll be paralyzed for sure. As upsetting as this is, I'm glad to be crunching to help the researchers. I don't feel 100% helpless this way. If you could send some positive thoughts out on Wednesday, I'll really appreciate it. Mary is a wonderful person. I think of her as my role model for parenting, and our sons are pals who will be starting college together in the fall. Thanks, littlemiss littlemiss, My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your dear friend,I hope that the doctors will be able to help her. We are all crunching to help Mary and anyone else who gets touched by this terrible disease. Here's to some possitive thoughts going out to you and your friend.

Many thanks for all your good wishes. I didn't want to be a bummer, but figured if anyone would understand, you folks would.
I'm crunching with the Coconauts (Team Seychelles) for a week, but know that the Andraxians will keep those numbers up while I'm away. Crunch crunch!  littlemiss |
