Well - I've been tired of getting the run around from Dr.G's office.   One time they tell me I'm getting the full DS, the next it's the ERNY then again the full DS.  I don't trust them....I just think he doesn't want to do any more revisions and that's fine - it's his choice.  I just wish they would have been honest right up front in May when I first inquired.  I've wasted 7 months....my own fault I guess.

So - I decided to go back to my original surgeon choice -Dr.Keshishian!  I was always impressed with him - calling me on a Sunday evening non-the-less with his kids playing in the background.  I originally balked at him  because he's on the opposite coast as me and I was worried about the flight, complications, price, etc...he is out-of netowrk for me.  However, I realize if I wanted this done by one of the best I have to make sacrifices too....

So I took a loan from my 401k paying myself back thru payroll deduction and I'm scheduled for surgery December 6, 2010!!!
I'm really excited, nervous, anxious and running  around like a mad woman trying to  get everything prepared.  I have some minor preop stuff I need to have from my PCP - surgical clearance, chest x-ray, EKG and labwork.  Hopefully all will be ok and there won't be any issues with my plans. 

Nothing EVER goes according to my plans!!

So.....it's off to see the Wizard the wonderful Wizard of DS!
