                          You know this is an HCMA first... The 3 centers we often speak of Mayo, Cleveland and NEMC are each providing there expert care on 3 of our own today and all at just about the same time. There are 3 OR's, 3 teams and 3 HCMA members benefiting from the hard work of the HCMA and our many members of this wonderful message board community. May they all have a successful day and may they all (Dr's, patient's, and support staff) know how wonderful we think they ALL are!!

                          Best wishes to ALL on this historic day...which also happens to be my first day of no longer having a "day job" in HR!

                          Peace to all,

                              Hi All,

                              Hena was to have her myectomy today, July 19th, along with Laura and Connie...

                              We've heard how Laura and Connie are doing... has anyone heard from Hena at the NEMC and how her myectomy is going? Please post if you have any info... you know how we all await word on this. I'm surely not the only one who is concerned with how she is doing.

                              Thanks,

                              Jim
