When I saw the specialized neurosurgeon last week, after posting here for positive vibes, they asked what my three most troublesome symptoms are and I answered, “Brain fog, fatigue, and balance problems;” they told me that surgery for Chiari malformation should help all three, so I will have that, probably in late October.

US President Barack Obama, excerpted from a 2015 speech on the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery, Alabama voting rights march and now part of the quote on the outside of the main building of the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois
