Hello everyone!
Yesterday, I met with the doctor. It was a very long visit and I was clearly overtired. By the time that we came home, I needed to go to sleep straight away.
The short story is that the overall news is good! Thank you so much for your support and prayers!
The doctor wants to go ahead and get the tumor removed as soon as possible - Hooray!
He also thought that scheduling would not be quick (there are a lot of people involved) and thought that it might take as long as 6 weeks to do. However, the nurse is going to call us later as she wants to help to make this faster - Yay!
BTW I am the one that everyone checks for short term memory loss but she forgot to give me the permission papers to sign. LOL I will ask her when she calls today.
The second item of good news is that they do not anticipate surgery on the hemorrhaged area! Woo hoo!
There are hurdles that I will need to deal with to get through these preparations, but I am looking at the overall good outlook as the motivation to go forward full speed ahead.
Thank you so much for your kind words, prayers, support and friendship!
Cheers,
save
Good morning, and thank you so much for keeping us updated!
Next time you see the doc, find out what would happen to you if you didn’t have insurance. I will bet cash money he would treat you the same.
Keeping you in my prayers.
Have a great day!
Good news, saveliberty! We’ll continue to keep you in our prayers. Have a wonderful day! :)
I hope they get things scheduled quickly. When I had back surgery, I didn't like the long wait just to get a date. I shouldn't complain as this time next year, the wait could be months, not weeks if Big BO has his way with health care, eh?
Sending prayers for speedy and unproblematic (is that even a word?) surgey date.
Praise the Lord for the good news and prayers for successful surgery and a quick recovery time. God bless you and give you strength and courage for the days ahead.
Thank you so much for the update. So glad to hear the good news! Will pray for the perfect day for surgery. Continued prayers for you all around!
What wonderful news, saveliberty! That really must have lifted your spirits!
When my boss’s wife needed surgery for her acoustic neuroma about 17 years ago, they were going to travel to California because surgeons who performed that operation were a rarity then.
They were making arrangements to travel out there—at no small expense plus staying out there for check-ups, when by some strange coincidence, they came into contact with the janitor of a building who mentioned that a relative had successfully undergone the operation which was done by a surgeon here in Philadelphia! This was before Google, I guess! The Lord really does work in mysterious ways!
