Today is a reward, 5 1/2 months post surgery

Rhonda,
What a wonderful day for you, your family, your TIMS family, and CCSVI! I'm so happy for you! It is especially nice to hear such positive news in light of some of the other news, today. Send it out to any newspapers in your area, someone will pick it up. Call or e-mail your radio and T.V. stations, too. Try to get it to the person in charge of Human Interest stories. If they won't pick it up, they will know who might.

Best of luck as you emerge as a particularly good spokesperson speaking from the heart.

Thanks Rhonda, you just made my day.

I am very near to having the procedure (poland april 27th) and getting more nervous every day. But when I read your post I know that this is what I am hoping for, why I am doing it.
To be able to spend a great day with my sons (twins,9) and my husband and not having to think about MS. Not that I would go kayaking...hey, you can't expect too much! Lol

I am so happy for you!!! Congratulations.xxx

I had my surgery only 2 weeks ago so your posting gives me nothing but confidence in believing I will beat this.

Thank you all so much I hope the future brings all of us a life without MS. With so much happening right now, (we seem to be in the thick of trying to figure out the many sides of CCSVI) it would be easy to feel some fear and doubt. When I began learning about CCSVI, hearing the stories of other's successes kept my faith admist the skepticism and doubt. This finding by Dr. Zamboni is nothing short of a miracle for us and with the brilliant doctors now researching and treating CCSVI we will have our answers. I see a very bright future for all of us!

I am thrilled for you Rhonda! You have been an inspiration to so many of us- thank you again and again.
I'm sitting in my hotel room here in Katowice waiting for the MRV which is scheduled for tomorrow. Hoping and praying for success like yours.

What an inspiring post..thank you so much...as I am here at the beginning of my adventure 17 days after liberation and I feel like a car engine that is spurting into life, one minute I am light and everything is functioning almost normally and the next minute I am back to staggering around between the furniture, but I know that changes are happening and because of your wonderful reply to my earlier post (home from Poland) I am being kind to myself and letting go and just letting be.
You are truly an inspiration! Well done to you JO xx
