I didn't hear back from Sandra at Cyberonics today - getting excited and nervous all at once.

Either:
(a) I meet with a surgeon on June 12 to determine if she is able to do the VNS under a local anesthesia, with surgery toward the end of the month, or
(b) I meet with another surgeon on June 12 who is fine with the local anesthesia, and will do the surgery on June 13.

Got an off and on headache in my right temple, but the  pain level isn't constantly as bad as it has been.

Ready for this trip to come to an end...
