Zipperhead Club here I come!

Hi Everyone,

Well, my trip to Chicago and appt. with Dr. Frim were nothing like poor

Melinda's. Melinda--I am sooo sorry that it happened that way, but if it makes

you feel better we were in his office for 3 hours ourselves.

We have scheduled my operation for June 5th. I learned many interesting

things that day. I had never had a test where they take an ice pick looking

thing and bang it on my neck. Dr. Frim also commented on my eyes as well as my

reflexes. Two more things Dr.'s have never mentioned to me before. I have to

sit through one more MRI. Dr. Frim wants to make sure that I don't have a

syrinx between T4-T12 (the only section of my spine that we don't have an MRI

for).

I am looking forward to feeling better. Dr. Frim would like me to loose

some weight. Funny how that has been a topic here while I was gone. Any hints

on how to do it????

I am a little nervous about surgery though. My hubby probably won't be able

to be there the first few days. And then Dr. Frim wants me to spend some time

in town before I go home. I don't want to be far from home when I am not

feeling well.

Well, I will stop rambling now. Talk at ya all later!

Hugs,

Ann Marie
