Thinking of you MC. This is really tough. You are a brave strong woman and you will get through this. We are all here rooting for you. I agree with WWM though - you need family and friends to be with you, and it would be a very good idea to share phone numbers with members of TDK who you know well. Hugs and healing energy to you.

Amy, I agree with Linda - you just go ahead and cry. But just for a moment and then get ready to fight. I know that's so easy to say but you know yourself that your outlook affects so much in your recovery. I'm so, so sorry that you have to go through this, and I'm really sorry that you have two weeks to anticipate surgery.
You know, TDK is not a "Whine Free Zone", so you just go ahead and feel free to whine all that you want to, or need to.
Mucho hugs.

Amy, I wish I lived close enough to come and be with you on the 18th. Hang as tough as you can and get things in place as quickly as possible, just in case.

Dear God, from what you are saying, this is an emergency life or death condition that the surgeon believes needs surgery NOW and that you can't wait another two weeks. Why oh why should the insurance company deny a waiver on which hospital in such a situation??? I can't believe this! Oh wait, yes I can and that makes me even madder.
Mollycat/Amy, we may be strangers but know that you are so dearly in my prayers as you have been all through this so far. God, I ask you to wrap your healing power around Amy with the full power of your love and grace. Give her a miracle. Hold her close in your comfort, your care, your guidance and your grace. Amen

You know I have had many other surgeries as my mom's appendix burst when she was pregnant with me (though she didn't know that when it burst. they found me when they went in). They pumped her full of all sorts of drugs and stuff because they had no idea of ME! I have many "birth defects" as a result. I didn't have a complete digestive tract, bladder or skull/brain. The physican's say that those things that were developing at the time just stop or were in some way altered. The past ten years I have been paying dearly for this. I have had to have myself rebuilt to make up for the missing parts. One of my surgeons said mid to late 30s is when the body shows wear and tear and my body was no longer as functional as it had been (darn youth!) and that is why so many things are rearing their ugly heads now. I could have 100 staples in my abdomen because I had to have some work done on my digestive tract but somehow someone in my brain is just unsettling. That is ME, my thoughts, my experiences, my secrets, my intellect, etc. It's just crazy to wrap my head around.

I agree with everyone else, cry as much as you want to, I know I would (but remember that it may make your poor head hurt worse). {{{Amy}}} But then I know your strength and toughness will kick right back in and you will beat this thing. You will kick its a** from here to Timbuctoo and we will be right there with you, watching it fly. And then, hopefully, you will be pain free and ready to get on with the rest of your life (which owes you some major good karma)! {{{Amy}}}

Amy, I understand completely. Our brains are what make us "us!" and I for one (I know I am not alone in this) like you just exactly as you are. You are fun and funny and smart and witty and I want years and years more of visiting you in Chicago and seeking out the best places to eat and the best martini's to drink. So, I am sending up my prayers and trusting in God to give your surgeon the best day of his professional life when he does your surgery. I am praying for all the nurses, lab techs, orderlies and everyone else at the hospital that they give you the best care possible. I am praying for every cell in your body to get on board with the healing once the surgery is done. I am praying for your thoughts , your experiences, your secrets, your intellect, etc to all be yours and unaltered by the procedure.

MC, ohhhhhhhhhhhh, sigh. Here's my shoulder for you to have a cry on.
It must be very frightening to know what you will be facing but now you do have an answer, and with your indomitable spirit you will face whatever comes and triumph yet again to be our "miracle girl". You have been such a breath of fresh air, positiveness and laughter ever since you joined us on TDK. You will be in my thoughts as you have your operation. {{{hugs}}}Posted 2 years ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

MC are you sure you can't go earlier? The neurosurgeon said you need to go tomorrow. What really makes me angry is he knew there was a problem and has had you sit on this while he was gone for a week, and now he is rushing to get you into an operative suite tomorrow. Insurance should be dealt with quickly--can the neurosurgeon's staff help with that issue? I am crying for you. Please know that prayers have been offered daily. Face things one minute at a time.

I'm sorry you have to have more surgery, MC. It is perfectly fine for you to be worried, angry, frustrated, afraid, depressed and tearful. You wouldn't be human if you weren't experiencing all of these things. One thing we've all seen in you is a strength of spirit and positive outlook when you've run into bumps in the road with your health. That is what will carry you through this and out the other side to better health. You are blessed to have FF to take care of you post op. We won't have to call any handsome cops/firefighters/EMTs because you will have one in residence! :)
You are always in my prayers. I hope there may be a cancellation in the surgery schedule at your insurance approved hospital so you can get taken care of sooner than the 18th. Ask your surgeon to make the case for you to be approved for surgery at the other hospital given these circumstances.

He said if something happens ie leakage, more problems or really bad headache he will do an EMERGENCY surgery. He was sending all my stuff to the hospital to have it there in case I go into the ER.

Wonderful so he is ready in case, but it would seem that he would try to either get a suite at the hospital where he did your original surgery or get a waiver faster since he says you need the surgery tomorrow. You should not have to wait to have your head taken care of. MC you have been patient and gone through h*ll with this before the original surgery and then now with the next surgery. You deserve to be treated and helped. You have faced all obsticles and come through with the most amazing outlook. I just would like to see you moved to the front of the line--not prep for an emergency surgery.

Dear MC, oh my.... I am just catching up after another absence, and what do I find? You facing another round of surgery - Oh, baby, cry if you need to, but then I think you need to develop an awful headache over the weekend, and get you and your NS into the surgery suite on Monday!!! This does not sound like something that should wait until the 18th! Gentlest of hugs, multiple sweet headbonks and purrs from me and the krewe down here! You will be in my thoughts as long as it is needed!

You guys have already done so much. I can't ask for anything more. I have to go into surgery alone with all of you crowding around the surgeon with your whack bonk sticks!
