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

[Guest guest]

Deborah and :

I offer two thoughts.

First, I want to wish you the best with this endeavor and I will be saying

a prayer or two for you all.

Second, given that there already has been one invasive procedure that

apparently was not well based and resulted in complications, I wonder if it

would be prudent to have your doctors review the bidding one more time very

thoroughly on Monday? As you know only to well, surgery is serious stuff

with pluses and minuses.

My second thought is not meant to dissuade you, but rather to suggest it is

vital for everyone on this fast track is in the same room at the same time

and on the same sheet of music.

Good luck and God speed in these very important efforts.

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,

Thank you ,

Absolutly yes, All the mri's from 1999 were shiped out from Dr Levesques

office via overnight to New York. They are going to do a battery of test on

monday and we ALL will review the films and Test togather. We also have

another problem now to contend with and that is the CA125 that was done in

april that our Doctor in Charlotte for got to tell us about.. Needless to

say, this has made Deborah even more up set with this news. Just to let you

all know, I beleive the reason for the quick response from New York, is that

Deborah is loosing her sight.. and it is getting worst every day.. What else

can go wrong????? I want you all to know that she is in real trouble right

now.. not that she wasnt before but this time even I am scared. I wish she

couldnt see this post but that is impossible and I wanted you to know about

this and her real feelings.. PLEASE GIVE HER YOUR PRAYERS.

Dear Deborah and :

Of course you are scared, but just a short time ago, you were being

told there was nothing that could be done for you, and now it seems there is

the possibility that you can get some help. It is very scary, complicated

surgery, but three of the top Neurologists in the country put their heads

together and said you should have it. We will all be praying for you as you

face this new challenge. Your name is certainly not Tenacity for nothing, and

I am sure most of us call you Courageous Tenacity in our prayers.

You both have my love and my prayers.

Barbara
