Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
My first impression of Dr. Pop is that he scared me, we were a couple of minutes late and when we came into the meeting he said well your late! But it only took a couple of minutes to determine he is very nice. His office staff have all been very nice. So far there is nothing negative he has been very nice and helpful. He was very forthcommiing with the possible complications, did not scare me but made me think. Overall on a scale from one to ten he is so far a ten. I am still preop so I hope he is still a ten after surgery. Both competence and bedside manner are important, if I had to pick just one I would want competency over bed side manner.rnrn

Here I sit!
on April 5, 2007 1:03 pm
Well here I sit, three months and two days since I applied to the government for out of country care.  Each day I get a bit more depressed,  I can't help but wonder why everything that has to do with me is always hard, most here within weeks, not me it months.  Most have healthy children not me, I have to watch my poor baby fight this horrible disease.  I am not a whiner, but to be honest with you, I need to whine for a bit.  I just want something to go smoothly, I want to call the lady in the government that deals with this, but she is so unpleasant it is just more stressfull then waiting.  I have called my doctor and they have not called back.   

I have done a lot of soul searching, trying to pin point when I eat, when am I the worst,  I can see so clearly that I am an emotional eater, since I am an emotional person I eat alot.  It has been so long since I have been excited about anything.  To see the light at the end of the tunnel. To know that somewhere inside of me is this person with lots of energy, someone who is not always in pain, and always tired from all the drugs that are pumped into my body for pain.  I am excited to meet this new person.  I look around at other moms who are healthy and I see the enjoyment that they and thier children have from the smallest thing, like tickles, and running.  Oh I can't wait.  

I am nervous, I have to find something to do with my time and my emotions when I am on the other side.  I have started writing. I wrote a book about grief when my husband passed away, now I think I will work on one about this journey.  Only time will tell.

I am going to start following the SECRET!  so from here on in, Positive thoughts.  I will find out that I am aproved on Tuesday!

Well that is all for now.

Kim
