Good Morning to you all, I want to let you know that I will be away for a couple/few weeks as I am leaving for London Ontario today to the University hospital as I am having major surgery tomorrow. I have a spine disorder called Syringomyelia with a Chiari malformation and I need to get an operation to have the cerebral fluid to flow from my brain to my spine properly. (The "Chiari" is the part that controls balance. It is where cerebellum and parts of the brain stem sit, and an indented space at the lower rear of the skull, needs to be made larger, as my space is too small, making fluid unable to flow properly, causing a syrinx (fluid build up) in my spine. Asside from the pain I have been in, the Neurosurgeon is afraid that his may lead to further trouble as serious as paralysis. The good news is that Karen Salmansohn, best selling author, will be the moderator while I am away and she will be posting her wonderful creations and some of Lessons Learned In Life's usual postings. xox I hope you continue to enjoy this page and my love to you all, Brigitte xox
