Update: minor setback

Well sorry it took so long to update but its been an emotional rollercoaster around here. After a full day of pre op appointments and a freshly ordered brain MRI… turns out my white blood cell count was too high, I had an ear infection and a uti… aka inoperable. SO… obviously it was a let down but safety first of course. They took all the electrodes they had already glued to my head off and sent me home with a bunch of meds. So I have two week to get better… they’ll draw more labs here to ensure that I’m ok and I’m rescheduled for January 20th.

What a bunch of junk huh? My family and I were obviously upset. But anyway looks like a surgery date of January 20 th now!

Thought I’d let ya’ll know

Thanks so much for the update. I have decided to get MVD also. I am waiting for a call from the surgeon with results of my mri. I am terrified, but cannot live like this…it never stops and I can’t even talk. I am having it done by Dr. Joseph Neimat at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Please, please keep us updated…and good luck. I so hope you are relived from this horrific pain.
