***Follow up, surgery scheduled (maybe tentative) for June 7,

[elleng]

w Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon I just met (yesterday) and like, and at Hopkins facility I like, wherein I had such a good room while they were drawing and studying my Precious Bodily Fluids ((really gotta watch that movie again!))

Surprised hospital stay will NOT be lengthy, but rather more like 1 or 2 nights, then return home to cottage, with 'light' supervision helping me.

Regular outpatient physical therapy part of the plan, as well as regular visits and consultations back @ Hopkins.

I've volunteered to participate in LOTS of studies, so riding to and fro FREQUENTLY. Gonna have to compensate my friend who drives me, so not exactly resting. Also pre-op stuff, w my 'primary' doc, so lots happening! (ANd too windy to be able to get good pics of 'my' osprey, but life moves on!)

2. LOLOLOL!!!

Interesting that an early childhood experience I told surgeon about, and he agrees it may indicate I had this condition (hydrocephalus) as a child! Symptoms only 'burdensome' as an adult.

3. It's good to get it taken care of as early as possible and JH is

the place to go. Please keep us updated. I wish you the best.

5. I have belief that all will go well. May the forces of The Universe guide the surgeon's hands and

deliver you 100%.

That’s one of my top 10 all-time favorite movies as well
