2nd OPINION
Our dear neighbors Dr. Dan and Carol Merrill presented us with an opportunity to meet with Dr. Ross Davis. A world renown Neurophysiologist and Neurosurgeon from Sidney, Australia. He works with Dan in the research and development of micro-stimulators to restore neurological disabilities . I could go on all day about Dan and Dr. Davis's work they are really making a difference and are passionate about the cause. So he took a look into my little ol brain and guess what-yep its a tumor all right MRI's tell no lies. He reassured us that surgery was the best option and the technique that Dr. Mastrodimus would be using is my best option. He took a lot of time explaining my brain and ran a few neurological test on me. He had me walk a straight line with my eyes closed. I was surprised I was not very stable. I never realized how bad my imbalance had gotten. He said I would be going through an "adjustment" period for a while after the tumor was removed. The brain matter will eventually reposition it self where the tumor once was. I wonder if I will be smarter, have an increase in memory, dominate in scrabble, have personality changes or develop super powers. Should be exciting!! Thank you Dan and Carol! **He still wasn't sure about the spiders-they may become permanent residents.
