In the fall of 2008 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation -Type 1. I learned to accept & live with my symptoms and was trying to put off the surgery as long as possible. In the fall of 2010 I developed Syringomyelia and was told I should have surgery asap. I had a successful decompression surgery by Dr. Oro on 11.16.10 and with as good as I feel, I would like to consider me "cured"

Lisa is out surgery!
Thanks to everyone for all of your well wishes, your healing thoughts, and support for us all. I am happy to say that Lisa is now out of surgery. The Dr. just came out of the operating room and gave us the good news. He said that Lisa did well throughout the surgery. I think the operation seemed to go fairly normal. He ended up having to shave some of the C1 and C2 bone in her vertebra, the brain tonsils we pretty tightly compacted so there was a little extra work there. There were some other little things that he mentioned, but maybe more of that later. I am so anxious to see her. Way to go Lisa!
