Wow! You all have been busy while I was gone.....So great to read the continued explosion of info, inquiries, and media.
Just returned from roundtrip in two days to Stanford from Southern CA. It's 1:20 a.m. so I may not make much sense, but, I'm excited to tell you I have two collapsed jugs and one being severely impinged upon by the friendly carotid on the left side, and one high and one low collapsed on the right side. Sorry I'm not being more technical, but that will have to wait until I get some sleep!
Dr. Dake is a doll! Well, not a doll, but a wonderfully caring, open, thorough, logical doctor. He said that 10 or 11 of us will be called or e-mailed in the middle of Jan. to update us re when our surgery will take place. He still doesn't know exactly when that will be, but he is sure that it WILL be. What mainstream doctor takes the time he's taking with each person who goes to Stanford for testing?! Amazing!
How lovely Alex is! So glad we got a chance to meet her, too. She works so hard for all of us.
Thanks again to all who have posted. All of your info: where to stay, descriptions about the testing, questions to ask Dr. Dake, and a myriad of other things helped so much.
Looking forward to middle of Jan.
