SammyJo goes to Stanford
SammyJo goes to Stanford
10/29/09 My husband said Dr. Dake came out to the waiting room after my 2.5 hour procedure and gave an enthusiastic run down, on what I gathered from the corner of my eye was a flawless installation of 3 stents & 1 angioplasty. Both jugulars a mess, but azygos OK. Flew back to Seattle Sun. and I'm recovering well, but muscles still weak. Neck pain initially severe, a few headaches, but now manageable, just using Tylenol, percocet made me sick.
Will post tracking log once I get doctors notes, so I can be accurate, and I've got great pictures. I will add tips for future stenters to this thread. Thankyou to this amazing CCSVI community, having so much info up front helped me visualize a perfect outcome at Stanford, a happy ending to 15 years of suffering.

SammyJo-
Jeff and I wish you nothing but healing days ahead. You have worked so hard for so many with MS, and our prayers for you now are that you will reap the benefits of this procedure. Jeff couldn't handle percocet either, and the prescription strength tylenol knocked the pain back. Remember the 2 steps ahead, 1 back rule. Give your body time to heal and your brain time to readjust to new fluid levels. Drink plenty of liquids, get plenty of rest. Please keep us posted as you are able-
all best,

SammyJo-
So glad you are back home and resting. Three stents and one angioplasty--you once again are a pioneer in the story of MS. Take care of yourself in the next few days --- this is not necessarily an easy recovery. Take the time you need to heal.
I ditto Cheer's remarks - you have worked so hard for those who have suffered with MS. You have an amazing network of LDN followers (doctors and patients) who are going to be following your recovery --- you will spread the word about CCSVI ---- maybe next year at the LDN conference?
Take Care,
Sharon

Hello Marie, Looks like I will be heading down to Stanford next week for testing/treatment on the 12/13th. For some reason I feel a little apprehensive this time around. I guess from the poor out come of the first round. You know still not knowing why the stenosis formed where there were no apparent problems before has me concerned. It is my hope that Dr. Dake has some answers for me. Personally the cpn/bugs and not being able to get the INR to therapeutic level are the jest of my worries. Not sure if there being even considered as possible interference of the healing after our procedures. Still clinging on to my good health but there sure has been a cascade of new MS symptoms and the worsening of the old ones to contend with. Mainly just wanted to say Hello! Hope your enjoying this great fall weather. Cheers, Mark Meant for this to go as a PM to marie but since I am here, Wishing you the best recovery possible Samyjo Peace and health to you, Mark
