aiMelissa, Welcome to the Zipperhead club!
I'm glad you had/are having a good experiance. Please stick around on these boards. So often people only see the negatives.
jen3boys, Yes there is a type of MRI called Upright MRI or Fonar Upright. Check with your Dr and see if they have one in your town.

I am glad to hear that you are doing so well. I'm 9wks post-op and doing well also. I still
have some arm pain but it is improving. I hope that you continue to do well.

Hey, Melissa!
It's great to see your smiling face around MedHelp forums again. And to read of your improvements.
I pray that you just continue to improve every day. Remember, think of full recovery in terms of a year at least. It just takes time to undo all of the damage that having a compressed brain can do.
Blessings,
Rebecca
This is such good news to me. Thanks for your story Melissa. Of course though, you had our famous and much sought after Dr Oro - no chance of me finding him here in Australia! I just have a neurosurgen - so am hoping that my surgery goes as well as yours. May you continue to improve and feel better everyday.

I live in Belevue - Omaha and would think that it would be a great thing; I know of another person for sure and we have meet and chatted several times on the phone and e-mails back and forth.
I sent all my stuff to Dr. Oro and he said that the doc s at the Neb. Med. Center are doing all the right things for now. He would do nothing different - I do not have things quite as bad at this time as you prior to your surgery...
Sounds like things are going fgreat for you - that is AWSOME!!!!
