Welcome Nikki,
I too live not too far from Toronto.
Welcome to our neat little club that seems to be growing and growing. It is sad but you have found a great group of people who are in the same boat as you and can truly understand how you feel.

Thanks both Trish and Michelle. I appreciate your responses. Congratulations Trish. I've read some of 'Keepingups' blog...she's one busy Chick. Twins, yes I can imagine, but can't empathize. Twins seem to run in my office. There are 3 girls there right now who have twins after their first, and 4-5 who have departed and gone to other offices. I was really nervous the second time I got pregnant, that is for sure!

I have an appt with Dr. Guha on Nov 5th. He's back practicing I'm happy to tell you. Off to gymnastics!
Diagn Apr 14 2009 with 2.5 cm lt AN. - numbness in the face and sudden onset headaches accompanied by balance issues. Consults with Drs in S Ontario, California (House) and Vancouver. Picked Dr. Akagami in BC.
Retrosigmoid July 6, 2010, 3.0cm by then. SSD left, no other significant side effects.

Nikki...
yes, i knew that Guha was back. I saw him for my (belated) one year follow up. he reviewed my follow up mri (delayed due to pregnancy and birth). he is really wonderful, and i feel that i decided on surgery (which i was totally against) from meeting with him. Tell him i said hi.
yes, twins are tough, but magic.

good luck, send me a PM if you want.

Trish
