Does exactly what it says on the tin.

We head off early tomorrow morning, arrive at Stanford lunch time and have the scans in the afternoon.

We'll hopefully meet with Dr. Dake after that and IF (!) stenosis is found she'll be treated the next day.

I'm taking my computer so I can keep up with work so I'll keep everyone posted as to our progress.

Wish her luck!

Cheers, Jamie.

Its been all go so far!

Mel's had her Doppler, blood work and is now having her MRI and MRV.

We meet Dr Dake tomorrow at 08:00 local time.

While we were waiting for the ultrasound we literally crossed paths with Joan and Jeff, I returned Joan's voicemail and it was them! Mel was then called in so I had to dash!

I can't wait to hear about Jeff's follow up appt!

I sat in on the ultrasound and couldn't really tell anything, i'm afraid anything I did see was just wishful thinking so I'll wait until we've seen Dr Dake.

I'm terrified that Mel will be the first one without this! Can't see me sleepng much tonight!

Jamie, good luck to both of you! I was pretty sure I'd not see anything treatable, and look what I ended up with! :lol:

Can't wait for your results, this is a big week! online every minute

Just met with Dr. Dake!

Mel has no blockage.









Just kidding.

Very occluded right jugular at C2. Undersized left jug not sure if congenital or a blockage.

Heading to pre-op now.

Proper update later.

Very funny. That was a good one!!
So, Mel keeps the streak going. Amazing. I'll be thinking of her with her surgery. And, Jamie, no teasing when you let us know how that goes!
