All our bags are packed, we're ready to go... I'm standing here outside our door...
Actually we are leaving tomorrow afternoon, so Diane's bags are packed and I won't even start thinking about what I'm bringing until it's time to leave for the airport. I don't know what the future brings... don't know exactly what surgery Diane willl have, but Monday morning, we'll be with Hoogland and Zeegers... hoping for endoscopic resolution. This has been a tough road... I'll keep y'all posted. Mark

I hope all goes wonderfully for Diane. She couldn't be in better hands. IF I ever submit to surgery, I'll be flying there all the way from Oz, because I would have to pay for any op out of my insurance payout, I may as well spend a couple of thousand more and get the best in the world.
She is sooo lucky to have you on her side Mark. Take care Hucky

Diane has surgery in a couple of hours.
Good news, bad news.... New MRI (never would have been done anywere else) shows dramatic shrinking of sequester... completely different situation. Symptoms are still getting worse, but the size and shape of the fragment is way different. It has shrunk down to the immediate protrusion outside of the bulge.... hence the still worsening symptoms as the bulge should be much denser now and it is still on nerve root ganglion. Armed with the new MRI, she's no longer an extremed case and they don't have to fish around where the fragment used to be.... doing surgery open or endoscopic based on the old MRI (just a couple of months old) would have meant a lot of unnecessary looking and poking. More later..... gotta go now.
