Today's Appointment.

I saw my neurologist today. He checked my V.N.S today and got results he didn't like. During the test it kept saying it has a low battery or loose connection. He ordered some X-rays to see what the problem could be. He said that I will need to have some surgery to either replace the battery or fix the connection. At least now I know what's been happening and what needs to be done. I'll keep everyone updated on any changes. I hope everyone has a good week.

So you have been short circuiting ?

Anyone see smoke coming out of those ears of yours?
How soon are they going to be able to take care of this Hawke?

Good luck Hawke

At least you're getting to the source of the problem

Maybe its all that rain on your leaves, it made your circuits rust.

Is there a counter indication to V.N.S in rainy spots?

Hope you feel more yourself soon. At the end of the day thats all we are trying to reach.

Cheers,

I am so glad your doctor was able to spot the problem. This may also be contributing to your tireness. Let us know when your surgery is scheduled.

Hawke, It's finally a little good news to see that your doctor was able to determine the cause of a lot of your problems. I wish you well.
