Re: Hi everyone I am new and wanted to say hello.

Hi I started my rocessing in April when I first talked to my

Dr and he then scheduled me for the first of 2 appts here's what I

posted yesterday:

OMG I am so glad that I am PERSITANT! I called my Dr yesterday to

see if he got the psych consult and he calld me today and said "

NO!! " I almost passed out at work! So I called my evaluator left her

a message and told her that Dr Shun didn't get it yet and and she

called me back and said that she could FAX it to him yippeeee. Dr

Shun said " Carol if you get in touch with her today call me back

because I really want you to have surgery and your chart is on my

desk and it's so big! " Lmaoo so at 4:55pm I finally got through to

the call center and they got AHOLD of my Doctor * a MIRACLE*!!!!!!

So luckily she had her number on my cell number and that was her

DIRECT number and I told him I talked to her and he said do you have

her number? DO I??? " Hell yeah!! lol He said " give it to me and he

said Bye Carol I need to call her now! "

Please say a prayer for me! It should be faxed to the review team

either today or tommorow. I had a feeling that he got all my info

today and sent it. It was my 5 minute miracle today and I am glad

that they are BOTH working for me. Ms Crainer was trying to get

ahold of him and he was trying to get intouch with her.

Ok I wanted to share im a step closer now.

I should be at the Richmond kaiser since I live in Oakland. That is

soo wonderful I am so happy for you ! I bet you are excited to

be that much closer and it pays to be persitant!

I wanted to give you
