Jewel, that is such wonderful news! Getting a " no " on the MS would be

enough to make anyone do a happy dance, but to also get an " it's

operable " is just awesome.

I wish you all the very best results from the surgery!! Even if the docs

can't do an absolute fix, they should be able to give you back something

darned closed to normalcy.

Just the thought of anyone being able to ditch the headaches makes me

happy!! I find I can put up with some pretty intense body pain, but the

vicious head pain can flatten me quick as a bunny.

I am so very, very pleased for you!!!!
