Finally Have A NS Appointment!

Just wanted to let everybody know that I finally have a NS appointment!

I go November 15 at 9:30 to the Neurologist and then I go at 3:00 to do the new patient stuff and have my appointment with the Neurosureon at 3:30 the same day! I can't wait! I am also going to bring up the basicular invagination that the radiologist didn't feel the need to put in the addendum. Since when you look at the scans you can clearly see my brain is being compressed! My mom is freaking out about all of this brain stuff, and to be completely honest I am a little bit but, I will be happy when I can wake up one day and not feel like my skull is giving birth, my ears are ringing, and I am just genuinely feeling better so I can be the best mom ever instead of the crabby mom who feels like she can't do anything right and is always letting her kids down. I just want my life back!

Am I every going to have my life back...or at least a semi-normal life back, the kind where my kids won't always be dissapointed?

That’s the scariest part I think - not knowing how you will feel after surgery. I had some really awesome days and some really bad days, but they are mostly surgery pain flare-ups not pain from chiari itself.
