Title: Post MRI from Austin, Texas 7/7/08
Post by: JulieE on July 07, 2008, 09:27:34 pm

Hello, hope everyone had a great Independence Day Weekend!  This post finds me riding a high:  I have just gotten back from Austin and a post MRI visit with my neurosurgeon, Dr. Craig Kemper.  He is saying everything looks good: No sign of the tumor -YEAH! (there has/is a small chance that there could be re-growth); and no indicators of stroke (which I had been curious about possibly being responsible for my speech impediment and right side ataxia - this is my only comlications from surgery and I note improvement (others don't even note a problem) every day).  But, he expects a full recovery, and I will say they (he and ENT Dr. James Kemper) did fantastic!  I am also grateful I have no facial complications, as that bugger was plastered to the facial nerve.  He did inquire if I had been doing any glasswork as he feels it would be good therapy.  More posted on my blog, but I felt this was the crux of the matter!

Jules:

Congratulations on a successful surgery, steady improvement in your recovery and a 'clean' MRI.  We love to hear about positive AN stories,like yours.  Thank you.  I wish you continued healing and 'clean' MRI scans for the foreseeable future.  :)
