Rose and Magoo - good luck to both of you as you start the CCSVI journey. No need to worry about the staff at Stanford -- they are incredible --- they will take care of you.
Do you have your GP's on board for when you get home? Remember you need someone for the INR testing.
Keep us updated - are either one of you taking a laptop?

Dear Rhonda and Rose, I don't believe in luck, so you'll have my prayers. Please be aware that there will be some distances involved between appointments in different buildings. If both of you have good mobility, it shouldn't be a problem---there will be plenty of time in between each one. God bless you both.

Rose, are you ready??!! Here we GO!
Early to bed for me so I can get up for an early flight. I have my worst symptoms when I wake up, boy do I hope that improves! I have all my stuff packed and I will be spending tonight hugging my boys like crazy!!!
Thanks for the support and wishes, they mean a LOT!
I'll update as I go. I won't have any results until Monday morning when I have my consult with Dr. Dake. I will be trying to squeeze some info out of the techs on Friday though. Wish me luck

Surgery is scheduled at 2:00 on Monday.
Thanks to everyone here. You all have made this possible for me. I feel so prepared thanks to everyone answering all of my questions and providing their experiences.
Okay...here I go!!!!!!

To paraphrase Mormiles ..... I don't believe in prayer so I wish you luck!!!
( I am aware of the philosophical contradiction there by the way! )
Anyway, I hope its everything you hope for and that your recovery is swift.
New Thread?

Jamie, thank you for all positive thoughts, energy, everything.
CRHInv: Sure, I will start a new thread if you think it could help.
I am a little intimidated about how informed all of you are, however, but most happy to share my experiences.

Magoo!
I am sure you are here in the Stanford area. I hope your flight went well and you are resting.
I have been holding you in my thoughts all day! Can't wait for you to get to your testing tomorrow.!!
Right behind you!
Rose.
