All:

I arrive at Hopkins tomorrow (Mon 1/14/2013) very early to rerun all the PreOp tests/scans and if all goes well I "check-in" Tues 1/15 at 530AM. Then by 730AM I should be out cold and Dr Lim should begin the MVD procedure.

here is the link to my Caring Bridge:

I decided to share with ALL such that if it could help one more person to find the COURAGE to make that first phone call, go the first appt, follow through with all the tests/scans, etc etc to do this its worth it.

GodSpeed! Be Well and Be Strong!!!

Much Love to you All!
Albee

Good luck Albee, You'll be amazed at how great you will feel in a few short weeks!

Good luck to you Albee. I had my MVD on Dec. 21 and have been pain free with no side effects. Remember to give yourself time to heal and take it easy for a few weeks.

Thank you all!!! Turns out flipping to sitting back to recover well as opposed to “grinding through” it is my toughest challenge yet. I wrote about it here:
