[estherchaya]

The appointment with Dr. S at JHU was definitely worth the wait. She had a lot of good thoughts for moving forward

wow! amazing news! hope you get all the help and relief you can and she is the right shaliach

[estherchaya]

I think she is the right shaliach. She's got plans for how to improve my quality of life, and she's keeping all options open for when/if non-surgical options fail to be a miracel cure.

::fingers crossed:: She sounds sensible and organized and on the ball. Hooray!

[estherchaya]

she was fantastic. But... I think she's younger than me. That's just WRONG. Doctors should be older than me. I'm... getting old! (Younger doctors have more thorough, rigorous training and are more up on the current medicine, so I'm not ACTUALLY complaining!)

I'm glad she was helpful, and that you might be able to avoid surgery!

[estherchaya]

I think it's unlikely that I'll avoid surgery, but even if the things she's suggested aren't a miracle cure, I do believe they will improve my overall quality of life.

I'm so happy there is hope and options!

[estherchaya]

me too.

I'm so glad that you have some things to try out now!

[estherchaya]

me too. They're all things I've tried before (with a couple minor exceptions), but not as part of a comprehensive, well-thought-out plan.
