Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 yeahhhhhhhh. I am so excited for you. I didn't have a lot of time to panic, the last week was the worst. I decided in May I wanted this, first appt. first week of June and surgery July 19th. Things went FAST. Today is one week to the day of my surgery. I feel GREAT today. Yesterday was a little tough, but today I have felt good. My husband still wants to baby me and do everything for me, but I said, No, I feel good and I need to get well. The way for me to get well is to return to normal. I am actually going to try to fix supper for the family tonight. Beef Stroganoff. I hate the stuff, so it is perfect for me to fix. ha ha Hope everyone is well and keeping spirits high. I go to the doc for my first post appt. tomorrow, and I plan on thanking him profusely, not just for the GBP but for finding that tumor and basically saving my life. > I finally got tired of waiting to hear from them.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Vicki, If there is any advice I can give after all of this, it is persistence. I was persistent and I think that hurried things along a little bit. I was so persistent that I was on a first name basis with everyone working on my case. Hang in there. Dora Re: I have my date!!!
