Professionals

Now that we are going to MSKCC, I have to get authorizations on my own, so I have asked my former (although he doesn't know it yet) doctor's nurse to get an approval for another MRI, since I know Dr. Healey will want to do one when I see him on Wednesday. That might save me a little trouble. I've also asked for a prescription for some type of pain reliever, as I am experiencing shooting pains up my leg and down my foot. I think it's a result of nerves reforming or doing something following the surgery. During the day it's tolerable, but it keeps me up at night (2-1/2 hours last night).

Dr. Keohan's office just called to inform me I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for Friday at 8:45. This is a total shock to us, as I have had to call my former doctor to schedule follow-ups and had to wait two to three weeks for an appointment. As Ed commented, this is what happens when you deal with professionals.

Finally, thanks for all the messages of encouragement and for the telephone calls. Lydia and Wilfredo, I had to delete and repost that Santorini photo, which is why it now chronologically appears after your note. I thought folks might find that a little confusing. :) That photo brings back great memories, doesn't it?
