Soon to have PM.

THANK YOU.

I feel much better now.  A little more in control.  It was hellish last time...and I kept telling her no that she was wrong and the only reason I could know that was because of the pep talk you had given me when I first has to start on the meds after the first surgery.  It was SO helpful!  

I do have to give Joes credit for what they did after the incident.  The patient advocate was sent to me right away and she told me that a complaint was filed on my behalf by someone else.  So I didn't even have to do anything if I didn't want to.  But I did because a) I am a good student and you taught me well so I *knew* I was right and b) I never wanted another patient to go through that.

I know I will be okay.  I have the best support team a girl could ask for.  My friend Beth is already organizing freezer meals and she is coming down to the cities to stay with me and help for the testing if I need it and after the surgery for sure.   There are a bunch of my friends who are going to come over and help get my freezer packed with meals from stuff I have here already and then they will have hot meals delivered after the surgery too.  There will also be people to help with Kate.

I didn't have this last time so this is huge.  I am very thankful...and totally scared too.  But I'm more scared of staying like this or getting worse so I know in my heart that surgery is the right option.  That helps a lot.  And now I have a cheat sheet to make it easier. 

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
