my surgery is actually on  November 3rd. I think all of those darn political ads had November 4th stuck in my head lol.
I've actually been having problems off and on for years, but it was the problem with my balance that finally made my Dr. want to do an MRI.
I asked about the Basilar invagination, and the Surgeon  wants to wait and see what effect the decompression has on that, because the other option is either a cervical collar, or another  surgery where they would go through my mouth to remove the odontoid. I hope I remembered that right. It's hard to keep it all straight sometimes.
But I will be having a dura patch, they said it is from pig. I am getting a bit nervous as it gets closer, but am leaving it all in God's hands now...

I am scheduled for decompression on November 10th. I am counting the days because I am so miserable,it has been almost 6 years since the accident that caused this,and has taken until July for it to be figured out that it was Chiari. You would think through that with 4 back surgeries under my belt I would be a little calmer...I'm a nervous wreck! Good luck to those of you with upcoming surgeries,will be thinking of you and saying a prayer for you.

Hey all! My surgery date has been moved up to September 30th at 1:00pm. Next week! I'm definitely ready for some REAL relief this time around. I will appreciate as many prayers as I can get.

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

  That is a pretty quick turnaround from DX to surgery.....
  I know it can be frustrating to know if you made the right choice and if you really need surgery since the symptoms can cycle....

Keep in mind the BI will put pressure right on the brain stem...and that is something I am sure your Dr will also correct in addition to the decompressiom....do you know if you will have a dura plasty? If so, what type of patch will be used?

  A prayer thread will be posted for you as well....and know if you have any questions until then we are here to help however we can.
