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"

Update from the waiting room.
So here I am. Sitting here. Camp is set up in the waiting room and I have to get down to business. Lisa will be upset with me if don't start posting updates. We got to the hospital around 6:30 this morning, checked in and was ready to go. I am pretty sure Lisa was wishing to sneak in a last minute soy chai, but that wasn't going to happen. They took here back about 7:15 to get her changed and start the process. I was able to go back with her and spend some time before the surgery. Here are some photos from behind the scenes.
