Here's What's Going On: Medical Update

[jfargo]

This is all going to sound very dramatic and I don't mean it to but I don't really know how to word it in such a way as to make it unscary. Sorry.

Monday I have an EEG. Wednesday I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon.

I have a cerebellar arachnoid cyst. I spotted it in my MRI before I was told by the doctors that I had one. What I'm about to

I forgot to mention that I have a severe lack of attention. Writing this took a HUGE effort of will and even now I see that I repeated myself several times in the opening.

I hope you and the drs can figure this out! Thats scary, but hopefully a diagnosis and treatment will help. Will be thinking about you, my friend!!!

Thank you. Today's the appointment with the neurosurgeon so here's hoping things get taken care of!

Good luck. I really hope that it is easily fixed and that you're absolutely fine in a few weeks/months.

(And that your neurosurgeon is completely wrong)

Oh no! hope all goes well. I will call.

Thank you. I appreciate it but have to ask: Who is this? :)

[jfargo]

Thanks! I'll find out in a few hours what the neurosurgeon thinks. It's the neurologist I disagree with; I don't know what the neurosurgeon thinks just yet. :)

I'll update when I know more!

This all sounds scary. I wish you an easy recovery and a solution to your problems.
