Appointment at Univ. of Cincy

[Guest guest]

Hello Friends:

I just wanted to let you all know that I've been thinking long &

hard, for about a year now, and really seriously for about 3 months,

about going to the Univ. of Cincy to see if they can do ANYTHING to

help me. For 2 days I worked on an e-mail, with all my history &

stuff in it, and I e-mailed it to them on Saturday,(11-5-05)

afternoon. Well, yesterday (Monday 11-7-05)afternoon I got a phone

call from the pancreatic department and she said she received my

letter, (referred to it as my " love-letter " , cracked me up!) and

after reading it called to see if I wanted an appointment this Wed.

or next week. I was shocked! I never even imagined they would get

me in that quick! I told her I would take next weeks appointment so

I could have time to make arrangements for my twins to get home from

school that day. I'm so excited! She said she will send me an e-

mail confirming the info, but I haven't received it yet. I'm not

sure what doctor I will see, I'm not even sure of any of their

names! lol...so that's it! I called Lily to let her know, and she

ask if I would e-mail her a copy of my letter, and she is going to

send me with a whole bunch of questions. I'm kind of excited about

this! I just hope they can do something, anything, to help me! My

pain is different here lately. A lot worse, but also just

different, its hard to explain really. I've been on the same dose

of MS Contin since March/01, so maybe I just need a change in my

medication. Who know. But there you have it. I just wanted to

share this news with you all! Hope you are having a decent day!

Lots of Hugs,

that is exciting news. You are going to love them. I wish I

knew the name of the woman you emailed. I saw Dr. s and his

nurse is Debbie. She is an absolute hoot and 'love letter' sounds like

something she would say. She and I became really good friends during

my time back and forth. She is a great nurse. If it is Debbie please

tell her I said a big HELLO and I owe her a beer!

Let me know how it goes.

Dear ,

This is wonderful news for you. I'm so glad that you've come to this

monumental decision to go ahead and look further for help for

yourself. No one should have to deal with the pain that you've had to

deal with, and seeing the professionals there could only bring you

news that you can do something with.

You'll be in my thoughts while this is all going on, and PLEASE let us

know what they say afterward! Load yourself up with the questions

from Lily.....and find out what can be done! Good luck, girl..!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
