Surgeon Testimonial

Alan H. Brader, M.D.
Dr. Brader is so dearly sweet. Straightforward and knows exactly what he's doing. Everytime I go back and visit for protein and he's around, he throws a genuine smile at me and says hello. He's not in his own little world; he recognizes and acknowledges you. A+ surgeon who followed my arthritic comfort need so I wouldn't wake up with sore shoulder (as in previous unrelated surgery) being in same position for hours. The pre-admission testing nurse Pat Y.'s confidence and knowledge go above and beyond. The nurses upstairs in recovery are amazing.. they know exactly what they're doing - even of the most personal issues humans go through during a medical procedure. You really get spoiled in Barix with Dr. Brader and his staff. Thank God!

    Hi Magnolia, I too had my surgery on March 24, 2006 by Dr. Brader. I was in room 212. I'm not sure if you were the one accross the hall from me but it would be great if you were. I wish you the best of luck and hope that we can get through this together. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you need someone to talk to and can sympathize what you are going through. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope we can stay in contact throughout the years. Kim

Interesting and maybe not-so interesting facts about Magnolia.
posted on 6/8/07 11:19 am
This will be a work-in-progress since I obviously can not think of everything about me or what I like, etc.  BUT i DO know that I like bullet lists.  They are fun to read and to the point.  

_______________

Interesting and maybe not-so interesting  facts about Magnolia....

●  My real name is not Magnolia.

●  I love cats and have a nearly 4 foot green iguana.

●  I do not have kids and will adopt if I do.

●  I am single; not desperate.

●  Technically, I am the middle child, but I have 3 sisters.  That makes four daughters in all from the same mother and father.  Can you figure out this mystery?

●  I have not seen my "Dad" in over 15 years.

●  I am 31 years old as of May 21st.

●  I like the calm before the storm.

●  Responding to emails is fun but I can lag about it.. nothing personal.  I am thinking it out.  :-)

●  I want to visit Albania, Poland, Athens, and Russia (Russia, before they bomb us).

●  My house will be a log cabin with two rocking chairs on the front porch. 

●  I want to move to a more southern state where life is a bit more slow.

●  I am a Christian.  I am not perfect.

●  I do not date non-believers of Jesus Christ. 

●  I write songs.

●  I sing and have won some awards locally.

●  I used to smoke and now HATE it!

●  My mom and dad divorced when I was in 6th grade.

●  My bestest friends ARE considered my extended but NOT farther than an arm's length extended family. 

●  My big sister has rapid cycling bi-polar.  I love her.

●  Why do I always walk out of 7-11 and Wawa with free coffees almost on a daily basis now that I am thinner?

●  I have some bouts of situational depression but I do not battle it; God goes to bat for me on that.  

●  My close OH friend Shauna means the world to me.

●  My close OH friend Pat means the world to me.

●  Unfortunately, I believe we ARE in the midst of a 3rd world war and China and Russia are the sleeping giants.

●  My grandparents have been married over 50 years and they still have a super-charged sex life. 

●  Whoever I marry will have to deal with the above issue with ME as well.

●  At the age of 19, I was voted in as chairperson of the Philadelphia Songwriters Forum.  All of the members were 15-40+ years older than me.

●  I am partially responsible for building the world's largest music industry and networking organization.

●  A top music exec flew me out to L.A. and stay for a music industry conference in  recognition of my contributions.

●  He is flying me out again.  Maybe this November. 

●  I am a full-time student currently and do not work.

●  I have worked in the financial corporate world for almost 10 years.

●  I never tried anything sugar-free until after surgery.

●  I am a creationist.

●  I like the movie Fight Club because of Edward Norton, not Brad Pitt.

●  I will not answer the question "Who is your favorite band?" because it is the songs that count more to me and there are too many band's songs that I like! 

●  Bono from U2 inspires me.

●  My sisters are 3 more of my bestest friends.

●  If I am not on a schedule, I become a night owl.

●  I LOVE hammocks!!!!!!!!!!  I can not tell you how much I love them.

●  I want to visit Los Cabos and fall asleep on the beach in a cabana bed with my soulmate.

●  The word "soulmate" makes me laugh silently because of Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. 

●  I love brocolli that melts in your mouth.

●  I prefer at least 2 cloves of garlic with each 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti with sauce.

●  I am HORRIBLY HORRIBLE at video games and curse like a trucker when I play (I normally don't curse alot).  It's as if I almost all of the sudden get tourettes-syndrome outbursts.  I also move the paddle all over and think that it will help me with the moves.  Needless to say, I don't pick up the paddle more than say.. once every 5 years.  

●  It makes me sad when people use the Lord's name in vain as if He is a dirty curse word.  God damn it also qualifies for this as well. 

●  I am not religious; but I do go to non-denominational church sometimes. 

●  I listen to at least on sermon of some sort a day.. Charles Stanley, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen. 

●  I watch Reno 911 or Ghost Hunters episodes and drive at the same time.

●  I do not understand why people do not laugh out loud in the movie theaters more often.  

●  My neice does the perfect "Kip" impression! 

●  It does not take me long to write a good essay of any subject.

●  I LOVE vegan food and will try anything Chinese vegan once!

●  My grandmother means the world to me. 

●  My mother and I had a rocky start the 1st 25 years of life but we are truly best friends now and all is forgiven.

●  I wish one of my close OH friends would realize forgiving her mother too will help her move on and have a better quality of life.  I love you (you know who you are). 

●  My sister threw me off a rocking chair once out of anger. LOL

●  I don't enjoy metal music too much.. depends on the song.

●  I LOVE pendulums.

●  Maya Angelou's wisdom about life taught me a thing or two.

●  I have never told a man I loved him, yet.

●  I must once again finish this later.
