Hi Everyone!

As most or all of you know, I went in an talked with the surgeon toay. The appointment went well except that the doctor that was supposed to have faxed my letter for clearance to have the surgery hasn't sent that letter yet. So before my surgery can be scheduled they need that letter. So I am going to go over there in the morning and see if we can get it faxed tomorrow.



Then the surgeon wants to meet with me again and do a physical exam and we will schedule the surgery that day *hopefully next week). As far as what the surgery will consist of, I will be having a hysterectomy an they will just be removing my uterus. I will be keeping my ovaries an cervix. So I am hoping that I won't nee to take any hormones. I don't remember what the type of hysterectomy it is that they will be doing though, I will let you know later once I find it out again.



Once he gets the clearance letter the surgery will be scheuled within 2 weeks, because he doesn't want me to wait very long since I've been dealing with this for so long. So my surgery could be before the end of the month.



I just wanted to let you all know how everything went!

Glad to hear everything is progressing as planned, Julie. The paperwork snafu is a pain, though, eh?

Yes it is a pain, Kerri! They have had a week and a half to fax out my clearance letter Not sure why they never sent it.

Julie, our system is so cumbersome, it's not surprising that things get lost in the big to-do pile. Paperwork sucks.

Thank you Sis and Chris I called the doctor's office today and they finally got my clearance letter last Friday, and the lady that I talked to told me that my surgery is on the list of surgeries to be scheduled. She didn't know as to when my surgery will be scheduled but she said that I could know the date by Friday or after the holiday. I am scheduled to go in to see the nurse on June 2nd for pre-op stuff to.
