It looks as if the operation is not to be undertaken lightly - I do hope your consultant can help.<br /><br />I've read your blog for a long time - though I've been so busy the last couple of years that I've not kept up very well with friends' blogs, I'm starting to get back into it now. Some of my dearest friends are those I've met through blogging - I haven't met them all in person but quite a number of them.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14913590.post-34710316217880140992016-05-28T09:36:24.440-07:002016-05-28T09:36:24.440-07:00Z, I am so happy you actually read my blog.

I also have a friend in England who reads it and understands what it is for.<br />If it did not sound so melodramatic I would say I will never recover. I have had a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia (look that one up!)for about 6-8 years. I kept it under control with medication, but that loses its efficacy and the side effects are unpleasant.In the last three or four months the pain has broken through the medication (not consistently but when it feels like it.) I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon on Tuesday to see if surgery would help me, tho' I know it may not last for long. The fear of the pain and the side effects are in great part why I decided your blog party was a non starter.<br />I will keep in touch and thanks for caring.<br />Beryl Amenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434257277408290473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14913590.post-36707331739072617582016-05-25T09:09:38.292-07:002016-05-25T09:09:38.292-07:00Oh Beryl, I'm so sorry.
