Finally got a date for my surgery!! Wednesday January 28th
I am very happy and more than a little scared. But looking forward to any improvement, no matter how small.

Thanks again for all of your love and support.
My best advise to all of you is to bee your own advocate, no matter how distasteful it may be. HAD I NOT BEEN PUSHING the issues, I would still be in the merry go round stage.

Love,
Pat

Pat. How wonderful your holidays should be between now and the date of your surgery. Just take extra special care to stay away from the contagious "sickos" :))

No I couldn't advocate for myself as I am not a candidate for the LVRS but sure was hoping before the ruling.

I am so happy for you. Please keep us informed regularly that you are still on track for Jan 28th. It will go on my calendar.

Bless you Pat,

Anna
