OOOOOHHHH THE WAIT!!!

TCH is reviewing Tyler's tape today and they are to call later today or tomorrow morning to let me know when the surgery will be. It has been driving me nuts the past couple of days knowing that we were going to find out this week. Here we go again with the stress of planning and the stress of surgery. To top it off I had to put my dog to sleep last Wed. I am just having a bad week. Thank you for listening to me vent. Take care everyone.

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time. We just got back from surgery 2 weeks ago so I remember all the stress. Sorry to hear about your dog. At the beginning of this year we lost our dog of 16 years and then our cat of 17 years within 3 weeks of each other. I still miss both of them but not the vet. bills! Hopefully thing will get better soon.

We sent a tape in two weeks ago by priority mail but it never showed up. So a week later we sent another by FEDEX ($30) and the 2 tapes arrived at together!!

Lisa Davis reviewed last Thursday but wanted the doctor to review as well. We got a call yesterday that the doctor wants an EMG because he isn't sure if the bicep is working.

We decided to go ahead with our appointment in June because TCH can do the EMG and if surgery is indicated we are already there. In addition, we've heard of a few problems with EMGs done locally.

I know it is good news, but the wait goes on...
