Update On My Update

Ugggh The Plot Thickens

So as I stated in my last update I expected calls tomorrow from my rep. Imagine

my surprise when at almost 10pm tonight I get a call from a strange number. I

answer it and its the initial Medtronics rep who had handled my pre approval for

my trial. I mean who in their right mind calls up people about business matters

at almost 10pm at night? A lot of people I know are in bed that time of night so

I thought that was a bit odd.

Anyway, I was glad to at least have an update. I am now being told that the

Neurosurgeon's office just got my paperwork today UGGGH so now they are going to

call me within the next " couple of weeks and get me a consultation with him " I

will then see him and bla bla have the usual pre op history crap I am sure. I

had been told previously that the consult would be waived so I guess that info

was wrong as well.

So I told him then OK if its going to take at least 2 weeks for this consult my

hopes of getting this procedure before years end is out the door right? He says

oh not probably not. I am like what??? I mean, 2 weeks for a consult, then pre

approval, pre op and get on the surgery schedule!

We all or anyone that has worked around doctors know that docs do not usually do

any elective surgeries right before or after Christmas so that leaves out the

last two weeks of the year so .....................now how much time does that

leave to do this procedure before New Years? Sorry I can do the dang math.

OK so I ask, woudl it speed things up for me to call the office myself to make

the appt for my consult instead of twiddling my thumbs and waiting for them to

call me. I was told NO NO NO you will just get put on hold, run around, bla bla,

and voice mail and get frustrated. If you want updates call me.

Uh Huh!!!

OH me.

I told hubby I am ready to hang it up It will not be done until after New Years.

I am just going to reside myself to that fact. And if I have to wait for it to

be convenient for them, then they can do it when it is convenient for me.
