I just got back from my appointment with Dr. Kliot at the University of washington. I had a ct mylogram on Thursday and an Mrn today. So when I went in to see the Dr. he said that I had damaged the roots of C 6,7,8 he said he felt like he could repair them and sceduled surgery for Nov. 14th which thwo weeks from monday and exactly 6 months from my accident so that made me a little excited. Now I just wait and Hope and pray

We're right there with you, brother!
Hey, could you exlpain the MRN for the community because I had thought you just mispelled MRI until I spoke with you today. I think it's great they can do this and I'm very excited!
It goes without saying...I am excited for your surgery and wishing you all the best! I'll be in Seattle on the 14th (not at 6:00am, but as soon as I can!)

Yes peeps there is s difference between an mri and mrn an mrn looks at only nerves ass apposed to seen bone and cartlidge and muscle as well, I haven't looked for any websites that explain better than that but perhaps I will.
