We had a great Father's Day this year, despite Mark's having to work most of Sunday. The best part: ice cream cake from Dairy Queen!!
Great news for me from the neurologist. The MRI confirmed no masses and the facial pain I've had since college is indeed trigeminal neuralgia, caused by "vascular loops" that are pushing against the trigeminal nerve. It's great to finally have a cause pinpointed. There's no reason to think the pain will worsen and this kind of situation can be surgically fixed if the pain got unbearable (well, unbearable for longer periods of time anyway, rather than the short periodic bursts). Medication can help control the pain. More information at www.fpa-support.org
