I picked up a copy of my MRI Friday and read the report. I still don't know what alot of this means. My main concern is that I won't be a candidate for the surgery. One thing I read that did sound firmiliar was that my tonsils were distended 10mm. Can anyone give me an idea where that is on the scale of chiari? Would you think someone with that would get the surgery? Man I am sucha worry wart. I am going to see the surgeon tomorrow and I just can't wait. I was wondering if anyone had an update on their situation. I would love to hear how things are going and what others are going through. Its nice to know Im not the only one.
