Must watch video for those with CCI

Techniques and Problems of Craniovertebral Fusion for Craniocervical Instability and Hindbrain Herniation




I received the link to the video below last week in an email from ASAP. This interview was filmed during the ASAP conference in July in Washington DC. I attended this conference and I had the pleasure of sitting in the crowd to hear Dr. Menezes speak. This brilliant doctor sat at a table at the hotel after the speakers were done for the day and answered questions for those at the conference that had any questions for him. During this time I sat down with Dr. Menezes and asked the few questions I had for him that he so kindly answered. Everyone knows that I am still doing what I can to avoid the fusion surgery, but if the time comes and I can no longer put off having the craniocervical fusion this is the doctor I hope to have do my surgery.

Hey Laurie, I watched the video- (had to borrow my h. computer to do it he gets so irRRitated:O!! I'm not sure I "got it" - exactly what Dr. Menezes was trying to say. If you have more to share on this post on!
Dr. B. should be reviewing my imaging and info from this year right now- or soon- he's been so kind to respond to me quickly when I've written him. I still can't have the TC surgery or anything without charity though- or doing something like you do I guess- these fund raisers of yours are awesome!
Anyway, it would be great to re-connect by phone sometime soon. I've had a bout of severe seizures- but it seems to be calming down now. As a result tho, I've been staying home even MORE than usual. (if that's possible?) haha.

I hope the Chinese herbs and all help. I know these alternative therapies can sometimes work wonders. I've seen it-
btw.didn't really mean to sign up to follow your blog 2x- I'm just trying to get the updates to show on my yahoo page and it ain't workin'. oh well- it works on my little poetry blog deal so at least i can watch for them there!

love ya girl,
hang tight,
hold on to Jesus,
keep watching for the rainbow
and in the meantime,
dance in the rain,
zoe
