Yeah, I get it. I live about 2 hrs away from my neurosurgeon's office. I managed to get a neurologist within an hour from home.

Winter here too (Southern Ontario and we're getting a snow dump tonight).

Hello Everyone.

Hope you are all well.

It will be 6 weeks on Tuesday (March 3) since my MVD.

Everything is GREAT.

Today I went out for a hike with my husband alongside the river in front of our house. It was cold (-8degC) but I bundled up and did just fine.

Things I discovered today:
COLD AIR ON MY FACE DOESN'T TRIGGER PAIN!!! woohoooo
My balance function is once again working
Increased heart rate DOESN'T TRIGGER PAIN!!! woohoooo

I THINK THE MVD WORKED!

yay yay yay

Happy Sunday!

Smile So happy for you
Cat, I am so happy to hear your good news. That is great. I know it will help someone else on here to read about a positive outcome for a change.

So there is hope after all.

Rhonda

That's so awesome NanaCat!!! Thank you for all the updates!

I'm really glad this all worked out for you. I know how you expressed originally how horrible you felt and I felt so sad for you too.

Here's to more pain free days!

And more:
I saw the Neurosurgeon yesterday. All is good. We're just monitoring some incision issues right now but everything else is great.

No follow up scheduled! (unless things change, of course!)
woohoo!
