Well guys....I am getting excited and nervous too. My "second Opinon" appt is Oct 2 (Wednesday). Everything rides on this dr. I have my surgery date, but before Tricare will send me there this dr has to say that I am a good canidate for the surgery. I had one dr tell me no...so I just went and found another one that says yes!!! But because we are military and we have Tri-Care I HAVE to go to this appt. Please pray...right now my faith is the only thing keeping me at peace. Thanks for letting me share...

Hi Guys, Just a note to say things are moving in the right direction again!!! The Hosp Commander called me today with my "second opinon" appt. It will be on Oct 2. So now I am just praying that this dr agrees that I will need the surgery or that at least I am a good canidate. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 25, so if everything goes as planned, I will be flying down to Tx on the 23 of Oct. I am asking for your prayers. God Bless...

Hi Claire "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown May you always have an Angel by your side.

I am in limbo right now. Dr Warnock is the ONLY dr I want to do my surgery. We live in Alaska and we are an Army family. I was sent to a dr in Fresno, CA and after everything was said and done, he chose not to do my surgery. That's fine I didn't like him anyway. But here is my problem. Because I am an Army wife we have Tri-Care for insurence. Dr Warnock is accepting Tri-Care and he has agreed to do my surgery (yes, he knows the meds I am on and that isn't a problem with him). But now I have to convence the Army to send me to TX. I had an appt with the Commander of the Hosp here today and he wants to send me to Elemdorf AFB for a second opinon. He is "calling in a favor" and I should have my appt down there in " a week or so". PLEASE everyone PLEASE PRAY that they will agree I need surgery and send me to Dr Warnock. I am a Christian and I am trying VERY hard to turn this over to God, but I have to tell you this is the hardest thing for me. I called today to puch my surgery date back 2 weeks but Debbie had already left the office, so I left a message for her. Guys, I need some support or SOMETHING!!! ANy words of wisdom are welcome. God Bless,

Dear Claire, I want to wish you all the very best on your journey into a better and healthier life. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. I will be having surgery in the same month as you are; I know we are making a better life for ourselves. Remember: Walk, Walk, Walk, Cough, Cough, Cough!
