2nd post op MRI complete
« on: September 16, 2011, 09:29:20 am »
I had my second (and annual I guess) post op MRI yesterday. It went well. I don't get the report but I do get the disc. I have a normal looking head so I think the report will be positive. I have to send the disc off to Dr. Akagami this week.

I really have nothing to report, which is in the case of us AN'ers...always good news.

Keep the faith all,

Nikki

Hi Nikki .....

Sounds like the report will be a good one ..... boring reports (or nothing to report) are always good!  Congratulations!!

Hi Nikki,

I was just thinking about you and that you would be having your annual MRI soon. I am sure that you will get a good report from Dr. Akagami. The most important evidence though is that you are feeling good.

By the way, are you noticing improvements in your dry eye? I asked Dr. A. about it and he responded that usually improvements happen within 6 months to a year. So I was wondering if you have noticed any progress.

Take care and keep us posted about the report

Hi Nikki,
You've made the trip on the long road of ANs.   I am hoping for you that the results are boring.   We all have had far too much excitement in our lives.

Hugs,

Hi Marianna, no the eye is still status quo, but it isn't too bothersome. As I sit here typing it is watering for no reason. Still no crying tears, but lots of workout tears...It's not so bad though.

How about yours?
