Congratulations Nikki

I haven't been around in awhile so missed the original post. 

Glad you finally got a date, with the doctor you wanted.  Wishing you all the success for an awesome outcome.

Happy rails on the way home, great idea!

Oh and I so wish that had worked out. Holy Heck! $8000+ for a cabin for three (only thing left besides a berth) for a three day trip. We figure I can get a nice first class seat on the way back for that.

Some day when Lottomax realizes my ticket IS the winning one!

I think that a first class flight would be much more worth it after having major surgery, rather than a long 3 day trip across the prairies. Plus, I would think it is better to stay for more days somewhere close to the hospital, just in case. If you are up to it, the BC coast is stunning, and there is so much sightseeing to do. Well worth it.

GK on April 23rd 2008 for 2.9 cm AN at Toronto Western Hospital. Subsequent MRIs showed darkening initially, then growth. Retrosigmoid surgery on April 26th, 2011 with Drs. Akagami and Westerberg at Vancouver General Hospital. Graduallly lost hearing after GK and now SSD but no other issues.
