You deserve an A+ in Bob P's homework assignment. You've made an impression that won't be made light of or forgotten!

Thanks for educating a part of the medical community under the most severe conditions.

I say you to go the head of the class as well on our homework assignment. Good for the docs, nurses, and all of us. Bad for you though. Wishing you some PFDAN!!!!

OMG, what a terrible ordeal to go through! I cannot even imagine the horrors of getting hit AND having a spinal tap at the same time! Thank goodness you made it through OK. You also just gave the doctors something a LOT of CH'ers would love, and that's a firsthand view to the suffering...
