  Hi....yes it is easier to see what is going on...looks like u have a slight kink in the brain stem and min herniation....from an untrained eye and I may be way off.....what did ur Dr say?....

[Rahe28]

Hi Selma, I STILL HAVE THE KINKING THAT WAS THERE BEFORE SURGERY! I haven't seen the ns yet, I go on the 6th. Yes there is still a herniation, and i'm sad to say looks like decreased csf . There are allot of dark spots on the cine flow study. . Add soon as I figure out how to upload the video i'm going to post on fb. Are you on fb? It is really neat to watch!

  Yes, I am on FB ....I do not go on there as much as here, but could jump over to take a peek....lol...

Did they say y they did not address the kink?

Hello, I would love tio see it on facebook.  let me know when if it is ok

I still haven't figured our how to upload it from the CD, to the computer to the fb... Since this is a new ns and I haven't seen Dr.Walsh since 6 Weeks post op, I can't really ask him, I'd also like to know why he didn't address the retroflexed odontoid as well. He is in medical leave though.I do know that because of the nearly 4cm, 38mm herniation that was wrapped around my brainstem it was much more complicated than they anticipated, do maybe that has something to do with it.my appointment with Dr. Richter is tomorrow so I should kknow a lot more come tomorrow afternoon. I'll keep you guys posted on the video too, if I can ever use this big brain of mine to figure it out.

Good Luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes. ((hugs))
