moyamoya

tuesday i was diagnosed with moyamoya
its Japanese for cloud of smoke.
and what that means is that my main artery leading
into my brain that controls my entire left side is
basically cut in half, and little capillaries fill up the gap.
So it kind of looks like this ____________........________
but the dots shouldn't be there, obviously.
i will need brain surgery in the next year...
but, we found 2 neurosurgeons in boston
who have been perfecting this procedure for 20 years
so, obviously we are going there.
good news is:
my fiance' finally gets to go to boston with me.
i have had my past 23 surgeries there,
so i am just about a bostonian native :)
God is so good.
