Family problems update

[nsalem656]

Ok. I think my sister got involved in the madness with my parents. When I first told her about the possibility that I would have decompression surgery she asked mom if they were really going to let me do it. Yesterday I told her about the possibility that the aspbergers (sorry can't spell it) she thinks I have might really just be chiari symptoms in disguised. Than mom and dad told her about my application to the chiari institute and sis told me yesterday that she was happy I was having surgery over there (I swear I didn't say I would have surgery there for sure but I did say it was more likely that they wouldn't say I didn't need surgery either). All of a sudden dad calls today and asks about the paperwork at tci. I think I should have told sis about the chiari institute the day I applied because mom and dad might get off my back if I did. Great job my dear sister. Maybe I should stop joking with her best friend that she's my best sister ;) ;).

Me too. I was worried she was going to still be against any surgery (except pituatory tumor removal) but I'm so happy she's on my side. Speaking of pituatory tumors the doctor doesn't think it's a tumor. I'm lost.

I'm just glad I've got my sister on my side. My parents can drive a person insane. If I have her to intervene, I have hope at not having stress while I'm recovering hopefully. :) Thanks.

I was also an odd case, but mine had to do with the rejection of stitches and this is why I had to have 3 brain surgeries, and 1 lumbar drain surgery in my case.  It was a hard journey, but the doctors have learned from me so I guess it was all worth it.  I wish you the best in getting your appt. and it sound's like you have a good support symptom at home and a very positive sister.  You also have us here who wish the best for you.  Keep us updated in your appt.

Haven't gotten the appointment yet. I'm still working on the paperwork and I told my sister that. My sister is convinced they will accept me. That's why she said she's happy i'm having it there. My best way in is the kienbocks. I'm a odd case to say the least.
