Praying
Prayers for him.
May God be with you this day, and may the surgery be successful!
My surgery has been postponed. It is rescheduled now, for the 12th of February. Johnny_Cash also posted that the weather interferred with his appointment and he is now having to reschedule too. Continued prayers appreciated.
As a note of good news. The anchor woman from the ABC and FOX affiliate station has told me they are on board...the anchor, the reporter and the station manager have all agreed they want to run this story! They will contact me Thursday for more information so they can make sure to be as thorough as possible on the story!
Best of luck and many prayers. Hope these folks can help you get your issues sorted out.
What story? Sounds intriguing! :)
Postponement for surgery can be hard to deal with but I’m sure everything happens for a reason. I am anxious to see your news story!
BTTT
The story about the medical board cancelling the ability to use transport for trips to some pain management doctors. Instead, they recommend you leave your established doctor and go to one they have approved for transport.
Keeping my prayers with you.
Very good! I hope it leads to some positive changes in the
way they treat people.
It’s hard to hope in this current medical environment. How
did you get them curious about what has happened?
I just called them, told them what I was facing, asked them if they had a doctor they liked and would be heartbroke to be told to get a different doctor just because there was no transport to get to your doctor. Asked them if they had to look for a new doctor and knew how hard it is to get one that would take you seriously. Asked especially...what if you had chronic pain, found a doctor that treated that pain and would be fearful if you had to leave that doc and didn’t know if the new doc would give you the same level of care. The lady at ABC/FOX was very compassionate! She wanted to get on the story right away and said she would get it out to the reporters that day...today, she apologized bunches saying “I’m so sorry...right now, we are covering the weather with every available minute...but the reporters, the station manager and the newscaster all agreed, this is a worthy story! I am excited to be involved in this, and hope and pray God is using me to get this changed for the better, for the patients!
Thanks for the prayers ALL they must have worked for me.
About 5 minutes after I made my cancellation post out of the blue the wind calmed down and the snow stopped and I was able to get the procedure done.
Just got home around 6 pm and am relaxing with a very sore back side.
Now I have around 2 days to sample all the programs so as to HOPEFULLY find the magic potion that will give me relief.
Going to try and relax for a few days and if all goes good I will have the permanent battery pack installed on Thursday.
I truly thank all here and appreciate all the support offered through your prayers and I am praying for trussell to get the relief he is in need of.
Take care ALL.
It could be an opportunity for change. After all, when God closes a door, He opens a window. :)
I am glad to hear about FOX getting involved.
Shout it from the housetops!
