Vein Musings

Hi, I'm Sandra's left jugular vein and, along with her right jugular and azygous veins, this is our story about Sandra's life now that we are fixed. Sandra's interest in us began in November 2009. She wanted to know what other patients knew about CCSVI. So, she started a Facebook page called "CCSVI at UBC MS clinic." People who share Sandra's thirst for information now go there to collect, share, and discuss developments in CCSVI. As veins, we love being the centre of all this attention!

Day 1: A New Beginning

I'm done and back at the hotel! Procedure took 1hr 20mins -- left jugular ballooned twice, right jugular ballooned twice, and azygous ballooned 5 times for minor narrowing. No stents!

This is my room during the procedure:

Thanks to my great new doctor and his fabulous staff, especially nurse Michelle. My neck is slightly sore, my feet are pink, and I'm surrounded by Landon, son David and friend Ali running after my every wish. What more could a girl want? We had Pizza Uno in the hotel room for dinner tonight and I had no trouble swallowing it while semi-reclined in bed. Hmmm... Shopping comes tomorrow!
