Scared s*less (Read, you'll understand)

[Guest guest]

Bless you - you are in our prayers. And God will be with you - He will give you the strength that you need. What a lot to take in all at once! Maybe better this way - and it will be over sooner. Best of everything to you - we will be thinking of you each day.

love,

Folks,

I'm scared to death. Things are moving at such a fast pace, I can't catch

my breath. My doc here in Charlotte, Dr. Levesque in L.A. and Dr. Milhorat

in Long Island and the neurologists who did the PET scans all seemed to find

the time to get their heads together at some point today. They have deemed

me critical and we have to leave for NYC tomorrow (Saturday). I get checked

into the hospital on Monday and am scheduled for surgery Wednesday. My

doctor here in Charlotte handed my entire medical file and said there

is no time for photocopies.

I'll try to add what little bit of humor that I can find... they didn't

even give me time to become an expert on this disorder before all of this.

It normally takes 3 months to get in to see the surgeon in NY and it takes

about a month to get all of the tests needed and results. It then takes

another month to be scheduled for surgery, after you see the doctor. In the

best case scenario, it takes 4 months to get to where I got in one day. I

don't know what their main fear is but it can't be good if this is what is

happening. Glad that this time I do have competent doctors communicating

about my case.

Don't know when I'll be back online. I'll try to keep the laptop with me

in the hospital. They said that I will be there for 2 - 3 weeks. Deep

breath...lots of prayer please. Usually I have the time to work up the

courage to go through with things, this time, there is no time and I am in

tears. Faith that God is watching out for me is all I have to hold on to

right now.

Hugs,

Deborah aka Tenacity

Deborah, Best of luck. Be happy that it is moving this fast. No time to

prepare, I know, but just have faith and report back when you get home. I

hope you will be feeling a whole lot better by then. I will keep you in my

thoughts, Debbie
