Pembo:
Thanks for the update and
congratulations on a 'clear' MRI!

I'm impressed by the fact that your doctor, clearly a busy man, visits this website and reads the messages on the forums. That demonstrates involvement on his part with his AN patients beyond simply reading the medical journals. My neurosurgeon has been a member of the ANA for decades, although I don't believe he visits these forums, but I could be wrong as we're all somewhat anonymous (
If you're there - Hi, Dr. Goodrich!).
I'm pleased to learn that - from a 4½ year vantage point - you can see the progress in your recovery and have reached a place where you can accept the reality that although some aspects of your life have been permanently changed, you're still better off than you were. I think that could be said for any of us here. May your future be bright and your all of your MRI scans 'unremarkable'.
