I am so impressed by the photos and info your surgeon gave you right after the operation. He should be commended for his communication skills.
Shindig’s Girl,
I’m so glad you joined up and had a look around! : )
Thank-you for being there for Shindig! We all know it’s not easy, but having someone by our side makes all the difference in the world!
Give him my best ( I’m one week post MVD) tell him each day gets better!
Many ((( hugs )) to you both, Mimi xx
Please give him a gentle E-hug from me. I have been thinking about you both all the time. I will let you take over the updates now? let me know.

Hello, everyone. Shindig's girlfriend here. I just wanted to formally send along my sincere thanks to each and every person on this forum.
After a long day yesterday of waiting, waiting, waiting, and sitting by Shindig's bedside, I returned home -- tired, but optimistic about his recovery. I decided to search around for the forum he mentioned to see if his update has been posted. What I found was so much more than just an update.
I found a community that truly empathizes with Shindig, who knows what he has been through, who understands the frustration and pain and day-to-day struggles. I am not an emotional gal or a crier, but I sat at my computer reading all of your kind words, and I was overcome with emotion. Thank you so much for being a support for us. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Thank you for talking about the good and the bad.
I am just getting ready to visit Shindig again, and will be certain to keep you all updated on his progress.
Again. Thanks!
So happy to hear that he is doing as expected! Praying he recovers quickly and can move on with life. We all love you shindig!
I am so glad things are going well for you Shindig. Get the rest you need and let the world do its thing. We will be here when you get back.
Smash
YeY Shindig!!!
So pleased for you!
Things are good here too! 
(( hugs ))

Shindig it is fabulous to see you posting from ICU. And even more so to know the atypical pain is gone. This is so encouraging.
Take it easy though:)
Bellalarke
Oh wow, it is really something to get such updated info.
Amazing. Are they giving you some sleep meds to take home?
Great. Get some rest…
Awesome news! Thanks for updating us! Praying for a fast recovery.
Ha! My cooking skills will get put to the test when Shindig returns home tomorrow. Fingers crossed. :)

For some reason this wouldn’t let me reply earlier but I have a great chicken tortilla soup that’s really yummy and really nutritious if you want it. It’s my own recipe and I finally wrote it up awhile ago after all my friends bugged me, so if you’d like it I’d be more than happy to send it. I would guess you could probably put some medical marijuana in it to help with pain also. Anywho, just wanted to throw that out there glad you guys are doing so well!
Mr and Mrs Shindig
I wonder why an artery touching the nerve causes Classic TN in one person and TN2 in another?
Will we ever know the answer to the questions........Who knows? The important thing is your free of pain and recovering from your surgery, take care of each other xxx
Start simply…shindig only needs one thing to recover from at a time, ha- ha. Seriously, I’m sure you’ll do fine. Lots of new experiences:) you both have a lot of well- wishes.

So happy to hear your going home, go slow and pace yourself in your recovery our body tells us when to proceed ahead and when to slow down. You had big surgery. Take care Shindig and keep us posted when you can. God speed
My Best
