Oh my Joan, I didn't know you guys were going back. Please know I am thinking of you both. Please let us know what the good doctor finds. I am glad you are there for radeck too!

yeah...we didn't know we'd be here today, either. Dr. Dake didn't want to let too much time go on the whoosh and headaches. It's been 3 hours, so I'm assuming Jeff may have some new hardware. Trying to stay calm...everyone has gone home. Alone in waiting room. Glad I have you guys.

Nurses just came in to say goodnight...Jeff's fine, Dr. Dake is being extra careful. Just exploratory and a small ballooning. It took awhile to get to the right area. He didn't even get any meds. The nurses all have crushes on Jeff (at least the female ones) so they came out to see who his wife was...they talked me down. Now everyone has left, and the cleaning crew asked me to turn out the lights and shut the door when I leave.
I'm signing off...thanks everyone, you guys are great. The prayers are appreciated.
Joan

Great news Joan. Hopefully a bit of angioplasty is right up his alley...

Hmmmmm, I have no idea what time it is there (10:30am here). Hope you got to bed and your husband was fine...just waiting now to hear.
It's hard on you, too, Joan...I won't tell you to take care of yourself, because I can't even follow that advice. Too much stress, though, deep breaths........

As Jeff was the first person that Dr Dake operated on there are bound to be things that need tweaking. I hope that Jeff feels better and that the whooshing stops and the headaches dissapear. We are all thinking of you Joan and Jeff xxx

Are any of the other stenters experiencing tinnitus and headaches? I seem to recall some did but it was transitory?
