Changing Lives

I will tell you a bit about my Liberation Treatment in India.

I had 3 (3-D) MRI s done and they found nothing. My doctor is very brave and a good man decided to go ahead and balloon out a couple small veins. When he shot in the dye in the Venogram, he found three major blockages, proving that MRI (and theirs is state of the art) should never be the deciding factor for an angioplasty. The blockages ARE there for Multiple Sclerosis patients and they just need to find them. He then unblocked the left vein ballooning in 2 places and unblocked the right side using a stint. The right side went from a trickle to a whoosh, whoosh!

I got hot and cold feet and hands right away, which they were only cold since I was young before. A few days later the cramping around my stomach (which had been there 10 or more years) began to go away and it is now almost all gone. Last week, I also got feeling in the bottom of my feet. This morning I have feeling in the inside of my hands.

I will NEVER, ever regret going; and people who do, should make sure to have the invasive Venogram done. Suck it up, your option is to die slowly. Kolhapur is a great place to do this through Meditours (www.meditours.org) from Kelowna and at 15,000.00 US$ including all, except flights is a great option. It is supposedly more expensive than Poland (except they charge for every little extra, like hotel, MRI, stents in Poland); but in Kolhapur you stay right in a hospital with your caregiver and the price includes their stay as well as all transfers and 5 star restaurant meals. The doctors and equipment are also the best in the world and truly wish to help you and will go the extra to find blockages. They are very brave and kind.

I now have the chance to have my life back thanks to Dr Prabhu and Meditours.

Timeline

• May 6th - Liberation in India. On the table, my feet and hands got alternately hot and cold.
• May 8th - The cramp that has been like a tightened lariat around my waist for the past 15 years (and actually cracked some ribs) is coming and going until in the first part of June. It is mostly gone and now my muscles just feel tight. I assume that body builder tightness is the remnant of years for being cramped.
• May 11th - My mother and Jim noticed my voice is a lot stronger now, when I phoned from Brussels/Belgium. Perhaps less stomach cramping, perhaps blood to the neck muscles.
• June 1st - My girlfriend Louise said "Oh yes it is so much stronger. I have my girlfriend back."
• May 27th - I got feeling back in the top of my hands. I am waiting for my finger tips yet.
• May 28th - I got feeling in the top of my feet. I have not been able to feel my feet in years and years.
• June 5th - I planted my bedding plant flowers and was not tired, unlike last year.
• June 6th - I was able to be out and organize seeds to plant the whole garden with only a break for lunch.
• June 9th - I was able to take a few steps with only my cane as an assist.
• June 12th - I have feeling in my toes this morning, as I can feel my stockings going on over them for the first time in possibly 10 years.
• June 13 - I was able to take my walker up and down part of my driveway for about 65 steps.
