ZILLA,

I FEEL SO STUPID ,OKAY REALLY STUPID, I KEPT SEEING THAT YOU ARE FROM LATHRUP.MI.

THE LIGHTS IN THE ATTIC FINALLY CAME ON IN MY HEAD.I USE TO DRIVE THROUGH THERE WHEN I WENT TO SEE MY NEUROSURGEON.HE WAS OUT OF ROYAL OAK BEUMONT HOSPITAL.

WHEN I GO BACK HOME(I CALL THAT HOME) I GO RIGHT THROUGH THAT AREA,I HAVE A VERY GOOD DR.FRIEND THAT LIVES IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP THEN I GO ON TO ROCHESTER TO ON TO IMLAY CITY AND SEE MY ADOPTED SISTERS.A GROUP OF LADIES THAT I BECAME FRIENDS WITH 12 YEARS AGO.

SOON I PLAN ON COMING THAT WAY,I'D LOVE TO MEET YOU

WHEN HARRY DONE MY REVISION SURGERY HE WAS THERE WHEN I WENT INTO THE  OPERATING ROOM AND WAS SITTING BESIDE ME WHEN I WOKE UP.

HIS BESIDE MANNERS WE AWESOME,BUT THAT WAS IN 1999, A SURGERY THAT SHOULD OF TAKEN 1 HOUR ENDED UP TO BE ALMOST 5.

HE TOLD MY EX THAT HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT PARALISIS.HE HAD TO REPAIR EXTENSIVE NERVE DAMAGE,REMOVE SCAR TISSUE AND PUT IN A ROD TO STABELIZE THE LUMBAR.

HANDSOME HE IS,DARK HAIR,MUSTACHE AND BLUE EYES.

FOR THE MRI OF THE BRAIN,SWEETIE, DON'T GET EXCIDED YET,WITH THE MRI ON CD THEY DO NOT GIVE SLICE NUMBER,SO THE PREVIOUS MRI,MAYBE A DIFFERENT SLICED PICTURE VS THE NEW MRI I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE.

MY NEUROSURGEON SAID HE HATES MRI'S ON CD'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T SHOW THE BRAIN WITH THE IMAGE SLICES GOING THROUGH IT LIKE THE FILMS DO.HE STATED THEY ARE HARDER TO COMPARE.

OKAY THAT SAID I HAVE BRAIN ATROPHY, WHEN SOMEONE ASK ME IF I'M BRAIN DEAD I GET TO SAY YES. OK I KNOW THATS NOT FUNNY.

ATROPHY IS SHRINKAGE OF THE BRAIN,THE TISSUE DIES OFF,CAN BE HEREDITY,LACK OF OXYGEN,CAN BE CAUSED MY MS LESIONS.

I HAVE ATROPHY BILATERIALLY IN THE OCCIPITAL REGION,THE BACK PART OF THE BRAIN,WHICH CAN EXPLAIN THE DETERIATING VISION AND THE OPTICAL NEURITIS DOESN'T HELP.

TO ACTUALLY TELL SWEETIE IS BY COMPARING FILMS AND NOT CD PICTURES.

I HAVE HAD 4 BRAIN MRI'S AND THEY ALL APPEAR DIFFERENTLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ATROPHY.

WHENS YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT,TRY TO GET THE ACTUAL FILMS ALSO.

TRY TO RELAX,I KNOW THATS HARD

Yes, he's supposed to be the best.  My friend used to work for him.  He IS handsome,  with his dark mustache, but he must have loved YOU, because everyone says his bedside manners are VERY lacking.  He's difficult to work for, but maybe because he's the best!

I went to him for my neck, but his specialty is more the back.  I had a cervical spine specialist do my fusions.  LOVED him.  

I wanted to ask you -- I saw my old cd of my brain.  My cerebellum has clearly gotten smaller from Feb. 2007 to Nov. 2007.  What does that mean, do you know?  It looks like it has fallen away from up where it is supposed to be, and gotten feathery.

Talk to you soon.  IF YOU NEED THIS IN CAPS, TELL ME, I'LL WRITE IT AGAIN.  SORRY -- I FORGOT!!!

LATER!

TAKE CARE!
