Hi Cat,
it was nice.

if you want to survive in this country you have only two possibilities:
to stay strong or to kill yourselff.
NO WAY I kill myself so I stay strong!

Rici - the first patient in Poland had his procedure this morning. He only sent short message: "It was OK, without pain."
I am sooo happy for him, for Dr. Simka and for his team!
Just great!

That's great, Erika. Do you know what was done? Balloon only, or anything else?

I also would like to know. I hope to know more tomorrow.

I'm back from visit at Dr Simka's office.Doppler usg showed bad blood flow and venous valves not working well on both sides of my head.Now he will do MRV and then stents-he said baloon is useless in my case.
and Ricci is fine-probably he will be home tomorrow!

kinga - so glad that Dr. Simka was able to help you.

he said baloon is useless in my case.

This is what Dr. Dake has found in his patients -

Take care,
Sharon

Hi everybody!
I had very successful three days. I am almost sleeping now.
I met Rici - he is really fine, he has got one stent in his left jugular.
I will write more later, oh, I had my MRV of jugulars in Poland on Wednesday, I had MRI of brain and spine in Slovakia today.
I am very happy and very tired.
Dr. Simka and Dr. Ludyga are excellent!
Good night!
Erika

This is very important question.
Dr. Ludyga is the doctor who is doing the procedure in Katowice. He did the procedure to Rici.
Rici talks about him with really big respect.
We should remember this name.
At least people in Europe.
