Hi Charlie Browne! I am very interested in your post about the lack of balance and other probs. I am experiencing the lack of balance and was told by GP that it is degenerative and I thought that sounded reasonable as I am 72 years! But your info gives me a different slant on things. I will see my surgeon this afternoon and discuss with him! Sending wishes from a fellow Aussie!!

were you in good health going into this srugery? I think alot depends on how healthy and strong a person is going into the surgery - like smokers, or overweight, etc make the risk for complications higher? I know there are things that happen in spite of going in surgery with everything stacked in your favor, but I also believe (and data shows) that the hospital and the doctor plays a very major part in success, as much as if not more than being a high risk case.

Charlie Browne Emilyrae -- I was in pretty good health (for a 74yo) when I had my surgery. although I had been a moderate smoker until 2 years prior, no weight problems.
The team who conduct the procedure are a skilled unit, who know exactly what to do, & when to do it.
In my case the pre-op visits to cardiac staff were very informative even including a Video of a patient returning from theatre to UCU, & his subsequent 10 day recovery period.
Good luck on 12/7 - I am sure all will go well for you... charlie

Thanks for sharing, Charlie Browne (?). There\'s so much that is a puzzle. Like Post Perfusion Syndrome, or, as it is sometimes called \"Pump Head\", which could explain some of what you described...such as the speech. Who knows all this for sure. But, I have an opinion, which is...there are so many professionals doing these procedures using various techniques. These professionals and their tems do not all have the same levels of experience and same level of insight, and, we the patients do not always get the benefit of the best knowledge and techniques.

Charlie Browne 'Yes !!!! Charlie Browne IS my real Name... Thanks for your interest, You are right - I believe it is a matter of better communication between the various medical areas concerned to put their heads together & cross-reference their findings..
