Hi Vickie,
I hope you are feeling better. I’m sure each day you will. And I’m glad they found the blood vessel. That seems hopeful that the TN pain will get better. Keep us posted.

followup after surgery. i have been trying to post updates since surgery but keep falling asleep midway. I had my first visit from a home health nurse today and the bandage finally came off today. hopefully afterwhile i will be rested enough to take a shower. visit with the nurse really wore me out. Overall I am soooo grateful i went through with it and didnt chicken out at the last miniute (I ALMOST DID) just think jamie soon that will be you. nice warm shower too. hope your recovery is going well from your surgery. hope to hear from you soon. .
i do have facial numbness on the lefside which i didnt have at first but showed up yesterday. The headhaches are the worst part of it all which i am sure is pretty comman.

I want everyone on this site to know how greatful I am to each and everyone of you that aided me in my scarey journey. Until i found the site it was just information overload without the human touch to it. the people behind the storie. I will try to keep you updated but still early in recovery from surgery. Take care everyone.
