Surgery is Tomorrow Morning

 Technically this isn't an invasive surgery, it's a procedure, but they call it a surgery.  The risks and side effects are still there but all in all this is a fairly safe surgery.

I am on Day 5 of being off my tremor medication so I can't really type out a long post...well, I could but it would take hours. ;-)  There have been a few hiccups since I got to Virginia but I'll blog about all that once I can get on the computer again.

So I'll leave you with these videos of people's journey through this condition and the procedure.  I wish I could find a video of a woman patient but I can't.

And yes, they will be shaving my head.  From the webinars I've attended this seems to be a big stumbling block for women and why some shy away from this treatment.  Bald and women don't mix very well in our society.

 

I spoke too soon.  Here is a woman's story.

 

I go in early Friday morning for the procedure.  Please keep good thoughts for the outcome for me. 8-)

    I don't mean to be flippant, but being bald might be easier than falling in bathtub and having such gory wounds. Good luck.

    Good luck - basically ultrasound on your head? That's why they shave it, I'm assuming?
