Thank you, Cheer, for keeping us abreast of Randi's diagnosis.
Randi, congrats on your occlusion. and good luck tomorrow. I'm glad we Yankees...oops Red Sox (!) will have an option on this coast soon.

Same blockage at C2 as Mel.

She got good, quick relief.

The surgery was painful but that high up the recovery seems to be easier.

good luck!

Pls tell the new englanders that I will be doing follow up in Boston, so someone there will be getting tuned in soon


This is great news - I wonder if Dake is teaming up with someone on the East coast or are we finally seeing other doctors get interested on their own?

Randi, I'm so glad he found something fixable. Will be thinking of you today and hoping your surgery goes well. Please send word when you're able. You guys just don't know how stressful everyone's tests and surgery are on ME. I'm not very good at the waiting game, but I'm a pro at the worrying game. :roll:

Just to reassure you N - I think everyone going to Stanford is hoping for a blockage - then Dake works his magic. It does get exciting for all of us as someone starts the CCSVI adventure -- know that the best of care is given to the MS'rs. I personally think that we are the lucky ones going through this now -- Dake is being careful and meticulous.

Sharon, Thanks for the encouragement. My head knows everything you say is true. And if anyone were doing my surgery, I'd want the team at Stanford for sure, they'd absolutely be my first choice. My heart, though, that's another matter. I'm just nerved up until I know it's done and the person is OK. I've always been like that. In other circumstances, you'd think that's weird, being so concerned about people you've never met. But everyone here has found their way into my life, so I worry about them just as if they were my own family. So, I certainly don't want anyone to think I don't have confidence in Dr. Dake and his crew. That's not the case at all. It's just me being me. :oops:

I understand -just trying to "destress" you a bit. You have been a wonderful support for everyone who has gone to Stanford.
