Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I know there have been a few 'who's going' threads BUT this is more a request/inquiry about those that are going....Is anyone planning on taking pictures? If not...someone please take pics at the show for me b/c I was planning on going and helping out at my friend's table (John Yocum/Zoo-otics) but my wife received unfortunate news. She has thyroid cancer and is having surgery tomorrow. John had to cancel my already booked flight reservations and I was sad to not go but under the circumstances, it had to be done. She was diagnosed and scheduled for surgery so fast...I can't even get a regular doctor's appt that fast. It would have been my first 'out of town' herp show. Plus, I had some 06 Nicaraguan boas to unload AND I wanted to see John's 06 recently born Bolivians (which are pictured just a few threads down under cbreps).

Anyway, my wife & I are only 30 years old and have had our share of health problems over the past year, which is why I haven't had much time to do the Week In Review. Thanks for reading this AND be sure to visit John at his table (zoo-otics) at the Chicago NARBC and ask him for a free Fowler's Toad!(-just joking). Anyway, here is a pic of my herp-loving daugther...and another pic of my female Lemke-line Hog that I got from John a few years back.

Hey,

I'm sorry to hear about your wife, we'll be taking pictures i'm sure (though I doubt any good ones).

If you need any information or anything about thyroid cancer feel free to email me at Thyroidless4@yahoo.com . I was diagnosed with it when I was 16 (now 21) so I know the in and outs, been through most the treatments and I've done all the research. For starters a good site (without too much technical talk) is Thyca.org- good resources.

I was just thinking the other day about the WIR. I am glad you posted but wow I am so sorry about your wife, and I hope the operation gets all of it and that she is fine again soon. The picture of your daughter is so cute.
