A possible date for surgery

[Guest guest]

I will be flying out to Cinci on Oct 5 to meet with the surgeon

there again. I'll probably stay for a few days and we have

scheduled a date for the tp/ict to be on Nov 16. That is of course

if the doc there agrees that it is indeed my panc that has been

causing all the pain. I will be going alone, as usual. But thats

ok, with 3 kids running in and out of the house with all thier

friends and stuff the peace and quiet will be nice.

I'm not worried about the money anymore because Billy has finnally

said he will cover all the expenses, bout damn time huh. He also

has said that if the surgeon in cicni states again that it is not my

panc he is going to hire an attorney and have my doc here

investigated.

There was a time when I was beginning to think this was all in my

head, physcosomatic. but after I had that last mrcp a few weeks ago

I had a terrible spell that lasted well over 10 days and it was

without a doubt my panc. It does not like being mucked around with

and made sure I was aware. I hope this works out this time I dont

think I could handle anymore major dissappoints without loosing my

mind entirely.

Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed. I truly believe that

things happen for areason, theres a plan for everything I just cant

figure out what the plan is for me now. I am trying so hard to hold

on to faith but each day it gets harder and harder. I sure do miss

having those silver linings.

Meeting all of ya'll on this board has by far been the best thing to

have ever happened to me. I seriously do not know what I would have

done had I not gotten all the information, support and love from you

fine people. I will always remember that.

Love,

Chrissy

Chrissy,

I am so happy for you that you finally have a date for the tp/ict.

It's about time. Hopefully when you see the doc in Cinci he'll

confirm all this. You are in my thoughts and i'm glad that they are

going to go forward with this. Take care, Jen.

Dear Chrissy,

Finally, a date! I know you must feel a sense of relief that the waiting will

soon

be over. I don' t know how that Cinci doc could not agree, after all the

evidence is presented. Although you have this date set up tentatively for Nov.

16, I'd like to hear what the doctor has to say after your October appointment,

since it's so curious that he would say earlier that you weren't far gone

enough, and then have all those problems so soon afterward? Some of this

doesn't make sense, and I know the insecurity of it all must have been driving

you mad. Another disappointment is not what you need now. What you need

right now is an agressive move forward, and I hope that this is it.

I'm glad that Billy has stepped in and agreed to handle the expenses. Having

that obtacle out of the way must be a relief for you. It's tough to have that

to

worry about and raise and care for three children too!

We will have to get that day together, a free day just to have fun and sun and

a walk on the beach, or a slow drive through the low country.....soon! We'll

have to wait and see what kind of trouble Jeanne brings when she plows

through on Monday.....we've been so lucky so far. Keep your umbrella's

handy and pull the shutters in!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
