I am in Bogen now. Scheduled 1 day into the future with full workup in 2 days and surgery in 3. I really hope this will work out and the neurological problems will stop. Right now my hands are numb and my feet are screaming. The only way for relief is to hold my head totally still and rested again something. Really hard to do. Typing is a no no. Will try to keep updating.
Still have my beard

Fuzzy,
I know you've been around this block before but as you begin to crawl out of your skin during the next couple of days, remember you survived this already and will do it again. I so hope this provides you all the relief you seek. I'm sending you good vibes from across the ocean. I've also had this idea to braid your beard as tight as you can (2 or more) and pull up the sides of your head. If pulled tight, they can see exactly how much clean space they'll need vs. saving it. I also suspect this might be the procedure anyway. After the surgery, unbraid the hair. discarding whatever they cut off or ???? and see if you still like it. Good luck... Dale

Good luck with your Turkey Day adventure! I was in Straubing in Jan'09 for my 2 level ADR (ProdiscC-not nova)by Dr. B accompanied by family and Mark. It was the best vacation I'd had in years,lol! Ask Mark about my recovery, etc. Enjoy yourself, but give yourself time to rest too. -Jennifer

On the other side.
I survived the surgery with Dr. bertagnoly with 2/3rd of beard remaining. 2 Prodics Nova C. Still full of drugs and really dizzy. Light pain now at 1 day post. Another week at the hospital and then we will travel the train to Hannover north of germany for a few more weeks.. Thanks to all of you for all the good vibes. I post some more in the outcomes soon.

Fuzzy,
How wonderful on both counts. I know the difficulties of the first few days following surgery but also how quickly you begin to feel better following that. Rest up and only post when you can. You've been around this block before so you know what to do. Are the deer still on the mountain in the mornings? It's one of my best memories from Bogan. Stay well, Dale
