Hi everyone! I brought my sweetie Jason home today from the hospital. The hospital is 3 hours away from us in Long Island, NY. I stayed in a hotel near the hospital for the past 6 days. Jay iis still sore but doing fine. He will be out of work for the next 1 1/2 weeks. Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes. Jay needed surgery because he had Trigeminal Neurolgia which is a condition that is caused when a blood vessel/ artery is too close to the trigeminal nerve (located near the brain stem). The blood vessel/ artery "beats up" the nerve with every pulse which damages the nerve causing horrendous pain. TN used to be called the "suicide disease" because many people in the past would kill themselves to escape the pain. It is that bad. Jay's pain was chronic and severe, 24/7, for the past 2 years. He was just diagnosed a couple of months ago after our very own Glenda referred Jay to his neurosurgeon Dr. Brown, an expert in TN. We are sooooo grateful to Glenda. No one in our area could or would help. He was misdiagnosed and had to go through unnecessary treatments/ medications for 2 years. Jay had a complicated case of TN. A vein was growing along side the trigeminal nerve and an artery further up was under the nerve. Dr. Brown burned away the vein at the bottom of the nerve, inserted a teflon cushion between the nerve and vein, and inserted a teflon cushion between the artery and nerve. Right now (fingers crossed) Jay's TN pain seems to be resolved!!! He has some pain but it is surgery related and should go away in a few days. We are just so happy that this is over and Jay can be pain free! Thanks again everyone for everything.

I'm so glad to hear that he's feeling better! What a way to have had to live for the last two years!

 

My thoughts and prayers are with you that the surgery was 100% successful and all of the pain is now in the past!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
