I don't know your story really well, but I do know that I've been on this site for a year now and have only read that you have been suffering through this time! So glad to hear that you are making this step, sounds like it's definitely the right one! Stay strong, you have a better future ahead!
Thank you all. Your thoughts, prayers and words mean so much to me. I know I can always count on my chiarian family for inspirtion.
So I take it the nerve block didn't help this time? So sorry to read this, but do find relief in knowing this surgery will go better than the last one. Your in good hands and recovery will be better for you. I have you in my prayers.

we are all here for you and your going to a place that lives and breaths chiari! Nurses in the hospital have moved there just to work with dr oro and chiari patients. you are finally going to be on the path toward healing which means getting pieces of your self and life back. it will be hard but no more than what you live with everyday! You are so strong you will make it!
Im so glad that you have a date! That a long time to think about it though. I hope you can use the time deeply relaxing each day (hard work, IMO). I think in some ways, it's harder facing surgery another time. I tried to remain optimistic, and I'm ecstatic that it's been straight downhill for the past 10 days. Wheee. Well, almost.
