		<description>Delighted to hear you are back home! 
I love this poem from Raymond Carver (1938-1988)

Late Fragment
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Keep going Anna for you are surely beloved. Ghislaine</description>

		<description>Some folks have asked for me to post another update about Anna here in the comments, so here goes: She's out of hospital and back at home.  Recovery from the most recent round of chemo continues, but as she said "I'm crawling towards it", so another blog post might take a while.  She's been through quite a trial (which I'm sure she'll write about herself) so we're all thrilled she's back home.

Also, I've seen the backlog in Anna's email inbox which is daunting given how long she's been off the grid. So posting kind words here might be best.

		<description>Dear Anna, i have been reading your blog but haven't yet expressed how much your sharing means to me.  Thank you for your depth, inspiration, sensitivity, sharing your insight and wisdom and wonderful humour as you travel your journey. Especially thank you for taking the time and energy to write.  Your courage and capacity for joy is awesome, in the true sense of the word. I have been through a long and difficult journey with post-traumatic stress disorder, am now a lot better and rediscovering the joy of life. Reading your blog has been a great inspiration and strengthening for me - Thank You. I send you much love, healing prayers and blessings.  You are a Blessing to us all.</description>

		<description>Anna, your insightful comments in this blog have urged lots of people to voice their best (and sometimes, it would appear, second best) sentiments on all the issues you have touched upon. We appreciate the effort it takes to keep doing this while you also struggle with one more round of our "routine" treatments for people with cancer. We pray and hope to read from you again soon, with some good news.</description>

		<description>As a medical specialist who works in a country with universal health care for all, let me state categorically that I happily pay my taxes to support this.  Our system in Australia is far from perfect, but at least I can be assured that all my patients - both public and private - have reasonable access to the health care they need.  My advice to medical colleagues in the US: pay more tax and produce a better health care system for all.

All the best Anna

		<description>Dear Tom,
I really appreciate you updating us all via the blog. Birte and I (blog moderators on bmj.com), look so forward to Anna's postings and wonderful comments she gets from you all. Please send Anna our love. 

And Anna, if you're reading this, your tips for entertaining my teenage Aussie cousin during her time in London last weekend were spot-on. She loved the British Museum and Windsor in particular and in January, when she returns from Germany, we'll do all the other things you recommended.</description>

		<description>For those of you who keep track of Anna via this blog, she hasn't posted in a while as she's battling the side effects of the latest round of chemo.  She's in hospital, and seemingly through the worst of it, but will be there for a bit longer and not able to post blogs.  Thoughts, prayers, etc. all appreciated.

		<description>Hi Anna Im loving you, thanks for a raw emotional diatribe, it all deserves such emotion. Education is so incredibly devisive. Im aware that the education crisis and financial crisis and environmental crisis all point to a human spirit crisis. But of course Im speaking about myself!

I love you I'm a little challenged at this time I was hoping for a breakthrough that isn't! I wish you big big big health.

		<description>Yes, indeed Dr. Blackston, you too have the choice to move elsewhere in this world if you're not able to accept the decision of the majority and wish to continue to live in the past.  I imagine you also look at the last eight years as a constructive period for this great country of ours.  History will judge both of these administrations/periods of time, but I'm excited to move on and see what this decision of ours will bring.  Get over it--look ahead.

P.S. You also did a nice job of including all the code words used during the negative part of this campaign!!</description>

I have been following your story and blogs for many months now.I have spent 2 yrs living in US  and your story still resonates with my 'work-out mates' who are almost all African-American.
I always look forward to your blog- in fact it has become the highlight of the BMJ every week!This one is arguably the best so far..Keep writing! u r an inspiration.

		<description>Yes, Anna, many Americans are indeed sobbing but NOT with joy.  

We have managed to elect a person with massively limited leadership experience, who clearly has problems telling the truth, and has alliances with terrorists and racists, but who looks great on TV and would make an excellent used car salesman. What a fine country this is.  

The person who did not get elected only has a life-long history of bravery and military and civilian service to his country, but whose candidacy was linked to a financial crisis in our country which he did not cause, but in fact helped try to prevent.  

One of the failings of our country has been our preference for form over substance, for shiny glittery objects (Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton) over things that matter (education, hard work, and economic prosperity).  These "chickens," as Obama's best friend and admitted "spiritual advisor"/ aka racist preacher likes to say, are "coming home to roost."  

The US Healthcare system needs change, but not the kind that Barack Hussein Obama will bring.  Just as the Soviets discovered they had bankrupted their country with military spending, the Obama socialist philsophy toward "free everything for everyone" will bankrupt our economy, and the economy of our children's children.  

For those of you who blog here from outside the US, PLEASE move immediately to our country so you can begin paying taxes in  support of all these wonderful things that Obama will be bringing our nation.  If you like it so much where you are, but wish to criticise our nation from your spot, just send your money directly to Washington DC and be assured it will be spent (or more likely wasted).  

Thanks!</description>

<p>We have managed to elect a person with massively limited leadership experience, who clearly has problems telling the truth, and has alliances with terrorists and racists, but who looks great on TV and would make an excellent used car salesman. What a fine country this is.  </p>
<p>The person who did not get elected only has a life-long history of bravery and military and civilian service to his country, but whose candidacy was linked to a financial crisis in our country which he did not cause, but in fact helped try to prevent.  </p>
<p>One of the failings of our country has been our preference for form over substance, for shiny glittery objects (Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton) over things that matter (education, hard work, and economic prosperity).  These &#8220;chickens,&#8221; as Obama&#8217;s best friend and admitted &#8220;spiritual advisor&#8221;/ aka racist preacher likes to say, are &#8220;coming home to roost.&#8221;  </p>
<p>The US Healthcare system needs change, but not the kind that Barack Hussein Obama will bring.  Just as the Soviets discovered they had bankrupted their country with military spending, the Obama socialist philsophy toward &#8220;free everything for everyone&#8221; will bankrupt our economy, and the economy of our children&#8217;s children.  </p>
<p>For those of you who blog here from outside the US, PLEASE move immediately to our country so you can begin paying taxes in  support of all these wonderful things that Obama will be bringing our nation.  If you like it so much where you are, but wish to criticise our nation from your spot, just send your money directly to Washington DC and be assured it will be spent (or more likely wasted).  </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

		<description>Colour does matter, and the Obama victory carries strong symbolic value for those who lived and experienced harsh discrimination based on the hue of their skin. One hopes that the young and promising winner will not (have to) sacrifice his pre-election pledges to the cynicism of everyday reality. However, the hot seat at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC is different from the campaign rallies. Therefore, some reservation in rejoicing would be warranted.</description>

		<description>Peace for out time? Forget it: that Obama has chosen a strong Israel partisan as his chief of staff indicates a very poor prognosis for peace in the Middle East. Nothing will change: the American dream will forever represent a nightmare for the world.</description>

		<description>I too was awake at 4 am (UK time) sobbing joyfully at the results of the US election: finally someone to inspire and unite us in hope for a better and more peaceful world! 
Wishing you love and light Anna- get those deviant and rebellious cells under control again.
Keep writing: you and Obama my heroes!

		<description>Anna

I share your hope of a new form of belief in America. I spent 2 years in the USA during the early 90's mainly on the east side of USA cities involved in retailing all manner of goods to mainly poor black and white americans.I have walked through ,and in, most of the worst government housing projects in Washington, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and a few other beauty spots. My learning was that free healthcare is a real gift as well as social care and benefit payments .Every  country needs to invest in all its population to make sure everyone can grow up and become future members of its society.
I just hope that BO ( unfortunate initials for such a great man) casn deliver on the hope.

		<description>Anna, some time after 4am (here) on 6th November, while waiting for Obama to make his victory speech, I read your last blog and remembered that other things were happening in the world. I had forgotten. It's quite amazing how a far away event can transform the importance of all the other everyday things which had seemed so stressful and absorbing. I hope your happiness gives you strength for a long time. You are wonderful, and that's making me cry too! All this crying! Lots of love, Catherine</description>
