Hi all - I had GK this morning - it went very well - pain was controlled well with medication, medical people were all wonderful. Dr. Ludsford said it's likely that I'll eventually have more hearing loss, and that eventually I'll probably have some swelling, so I got a prescription for steroids if needed. I feel comfortable having this over with. I plan to go out and visit the Andy Warhol Museum tomorrow before leaving for Indianapolis Thursday.
I'm grateful that I was able to have this treated with GK, and invite anyone with questions about GK experience to sent a pm and ask me about my experience. Seriously, I have had more difficult times in a dentist's chair!
As for immediate effects, I have had headache and drowsiness and imbalance all day, but the drugs aren't out of my system - the top of my head is numb, but again, that is from the anesthetic. I still feel tired. The headache is not intense, and I feel quiet, but am watching tv with my family.
I will be online each day to make reports, hoping this might help someone else trying to make a decision. I'm glad I chose GK, and feel confident that I had the best doctor for this procedure (and his team) working on me....He said the tumor was cystic in the middle and will probably shrink. I feel fortunate.
bye for now~
Nancy
