Had my consult...surgery pending!

[Guest guest]

WOW! I met with Dr. Kolb last Friday and surgery is scheduled for

5/16. I have a swarm of emotions. Mostly excitement and

anticipation of getting healthy. However, I find myself bargaining

with myself...doubting that this is really happenning. I guess it is

denial because I never thought my life would get to the point where I

had to fly to see a specialist to get my health back. There is no

doubt I will go through with this and I know this is my problem but I

am going through self doubt...probably as a defense. As I was

thinking last night the pain, numbness, tingling and aching in my

left arm got so bad, almost unbearable like I have never had it was

like my body was telling " Get over it...this is it, just deal and you

will be better. "

Now it is just about logistics. I need to move my husband, mother

and 14 month old son to Atlanta for a week. I know it sounds silly

to take my son but my husband and I agree that the stress it would

cause me to be separated from him is probably more detrimental. We

are plannning on driving so we have a car, my son's toys and baby

gear and we can take our time.

Does any one have any suggestions as to which hotel, in Atlanta,

Holiday Inn Select, Residence Inn or Staybridge Holiday Inn?

Also I am having trouble finding a location near me to get ionic

foot baths. What types of spas have this service?

As always any guidance any of you have always helps me...I hope this

post finds you all well and although I have not been posting because

I have been trying to digest all this information I do read and learn

from each of you everyday. Thanks,
