In the first years of my health issues I relied heavily on asking Dr. Phil Gorelik how to cope, e-mailing him on bad days telling him I can't do this another day. Asking how long symptoms would last, that I was scared, that I was falling apart....

He always gave me something to hold onto , to grasp to get through another day. To cling to. To hear that I would get better.

He has no idea how much he helped me to cope and to cope for such a long period of time.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years.

Then, it was finally time for surgery. Brain surgery. Could you imagine? Me?
