spur of the moment - second opinion

Just like that - we got a call that Dr. Elliots office would see me early Friday morning. We quick - rearranged schedules, my mom was able to sit for the girls (who were on fall break) and John was able to move up a shoot and come with me. I felt like 1/2 or more of my new-found symptoms were from the anxiety I had from my original surgery being postponed and feeling like I was living borrowed time. I know I have lived with Chiari for 2 years and had times where I have felt down and out, but nothing like when a specialist tells you that you need to have surgery in 4-5 weeks and you are at 9 weeks and up in the air on a new date. I had many questions for Dr. Elliot and we went over some of my new symptoms. He was willing to perform surgery on my and just needed to tweak his office dates a bit. He gave us a date of NOV 17. I have the weekend to think about it and do some research.

In the mean time - Indian Buffet and Halloween festivities Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
