Thumbs down More waiting -

Update:

The Chicago brain doctor called me late this afternoon after reviewing all my records and MRI's etc. He hoped to verbally be able to tell me if there was something that could be done down here.

However, the call was MUCH different. The hospital that assured me that everything up to date in the package they gave me that I sent ahead, was missing the post surgery note from the brain surgeon and the most recent (Feb) MRI....so I have to call there tomorrow and ask them to ship it to arrive on Thursday morning and he will review it immediately upon arrival.

I cannot help but feel anger and frustration...at the hosptial. I have no control over it - nor do you - just wanted you to know why I continue to feel anger, fear, etc. yet still I continue to keep going on my fight and hope which returns eventually or I wouldn't be trying!

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand perhaps. My children continue to be wonderful, patient and supportive and I have no idea how I could cope with this without them!

Of course this site and the people on it are a great diversion as I think of others instead of myself (which is positive).

Once again tonight I have to tell all of you thanks again!
