Congratulations on your surgery date and you will be in my thoughts and prayers <3
Bumping up for Nov and Dec surgery dates....
A NEW thread will be posted for those in the new year 2015.....
No worries...thanks for letting me know....
Did they rule out EDS?.....
I never heard if the odontoid being removed?.....will research that a bit.,,,
Keep positive thoughts...
my surgery is actually on November 3rd. I think all of those darn political ads had November 4th stuck in my head lol.
I've actually been having problems off and on for years, but it was the problem with my balance that finally made my Dr. want to do an MRI.
I asked about the Basilar invagination, and the Surgeon wants to wait and see what effect the decompression has on that, because the other option is either a cervical collar, or another surgery where they would go through my mouth to remove the odontoid. I hope I remembered that right. It's hard to keep it all straight sometimes.
But I will be having a dura patch, they said it is from pig. I am getting a bit nervous as it gets closer, but am leaving it all in God's hands now...
Got your date and a Prayer Thread will be posted....wishing you all the best,
