Just thought I would post a note to let you know I'm having another MVD done on Monday, Nov. 13th. As many of you know, I had an unsuccessful Gamma Knife done in February and an MVD done in May. The pain has come back, and my meds are not controlling it. The surgeon feel my best chance to be painfree is another MVD to see if they missed something or if the Teflon slipped or if they just need to get more agressive with the nerve. I'm trying to keep busy so I don't think about it and get anymore stressed out than I am. As you can imagine, I'm feeling scared and worried. I feel like my body has been through so much this year. I hope the New Year will bring better health to all of us. I'll post as soon as I'm home and feeling up to getting on the computer. Sheila

Best of luck with this MVD! I will pray for a fast and easy recovery! Fingers are crossed!

Hi Everyone:

Sheila (Rudy's Mom) is having her second MVD this morning at 11:30. Her friend Barb is going to e-mail me when Sheila is out of surgery. Barb gets home from work after four in the afternoon, so it might be a while before I hear from her. I will let you all know as soon as I hear from Barb.

Please, some prayers for Sheila. Thanks.

Shirley H.

Hi everyone:

An e-mail from Sheila's friend Jean C. saying that Sheila is out of surgery, doing well, and that the doctor thinks that this time it will work for her. I will update when I get further e-mails. I hope that we all can continue our prayers that Sheila will be pain free - she has gone through a lot this year with three surgeries!
