Hi Tony,
Hope things are going well with you. I had GK
yesterday. I went in at 4am and was on my way home b4
10am. It wasn't had. They only pain I experenienced
me was the injection they use to numb where the put
the pins to hold the frame. I won't lie. That really
hurt! what took the most time were the were waiting
for mapping and changing helments on the machine.
They have to take you out ok the machine to change
each helment and then re-attach you frame each time.
That didn't hurt. It was just uncomfortable.
Where is your's located? Sorry, I forgot. When do
you go to Ucla? In a couple weeks?
Just saw that Scott Hamilto, the iceskater, had GK on
a brain tumor recently. He was on the Today show this
morning talking about it.
Well, take care and keep in touch. Maybe I will catch
you on mi.
