brain surgery #5

here we go again. So I went to the drs today and we r gonna go ahead with the surgery. He is going to harvest two ribs the open my head do a bit more decompressing then take two rods and put them from my skull to c2 possibly c3 the fuse c1and,c2 then he will put the rib bone over the hardware so it will have bone growth and will not fail in a year or two. I'm scared but ready. Oh ya it is may 12.

Hi Molly

Oh my this sounds intense but im guessing after 4 surgeries already you are ready and prepared for this one.

Praying with all my heart that this finally allows you the relief you deserve.

Hugs
