DJ Khaled said it best: and another one!
~ Hi, all!
If you know me: I know. I’m tired, too. I’m sure you’re sick of me talking about all these health things….Let’s just get it out of the way: I need another big-ass surgery. I have Moyamoya Disease (a progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked or narrowed arteries at the base of the brain that can cause strokes and TIAs; there is no cure for this rare disease, however there are surgical procedures that can reduce the risk of strokes and TIAs.) Basically, the garden hoses in my brain/head is kinked and I need it unkinked on both sides. I have to go to Stanford (California) for this. It is multiple surgeries. I won’t be able to do anything for a minimum of one (1) month.

Heading to Mayo in February for second and tertiary opinions. I'll also have to come back in April for my 3 year transplant anniversary (!). Thank you for your support :)

Happy Holidays, everyone :)Little medical hiatus due to school, practicum, etc., but I'll be going to Mayo clinic in February for a tertiary opinion, as Stanford and Queen's have not agreed on what my official diagnosis is (IIH or Moyamoya). This means the surgeries are both invasive (to my head/brain), yet completely different. Mayo will also be my second opinion re: PVC's (heart issues that probably sprouted from Dialysis) since the one EP here is unresponsive, and the other won't see me due to patient load.Thanking you folks for your continued support! Looking forward to a day where I can put all of this behind me and have some normal-feeling days.- Tasha
