04/12/03 - Hello to all, I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend. I just want to follow-up with the post made by my wonderful Angel Deanna K. As it is nobody's fault I am a Male(Guy) not a GAL. But I do not fault Deanna for this I fault myself. Deanna has been nothing but fantastic since I met her and I hope she still wants to be my Angel if she is not to disappointed to find out I am not a girl. I am lucky to have her. But yes my Surgery date is May 8th which is right around the corner. Again to all have a great weekend...

04/11/03 - I finally cleared the last hurdle that my surgeon wanted me to jump. MY gastro Dr. cleared my sonogram of the liver. Well I guess I should be happy I now have a surgery date of May 8th. Don't get me wrong I am happy because it's been a long and tedious road to get to this point. But now all of the nerves, and other things are going to start popping up. I'm sure I will also be second guessing myself before this is all over. But in the end I know, I have made a decision that is going to give me the opportunity to change my life for the better. I just have to keep focusing on the positives and believe that God will pull me through.

Julian, hang in there I understand what you mean by roadblocks. I had expected o submit to my insurance months ago but... Now i have health issues that must be cleared first. I will tell you what my sister todl me when i began to think these were signs not to have surgery, "these are'nt roadblocks, just detours. Just think about how your health might have been had you not gotten all this testing and finding out what is wrong. you might have not knwo until too late." I know its tough, and discouraging! I keep praying and holding on to this dream. I encourage you to do the same. I found wls poeple aournd me and that helps. I suggest you do the same. Good luck , my prayers are with you.

04/08/03 - I first want to wish all of you having surgery this week good luck for a quick recovery and those that are waiting like me, to try and keep going. I tell I think destiny for me is to not have this surgery, everytime I have reached the last step in getting a surgery date some other proplem arises that set's me back. First it was the Sleep apena that set me back 6 weeks. Then they requested an EGD. I had to do an abdominal sonogram twice because the first one did not come out clear enough to read. I finally get clearance from my pulminary doctor and my gastrontoligist to have surgery. Then the RN at my surgeon's office say's that the gstro doctor needs to see the sonogram of my liver. He then has to clear me again for my liver. So I get him a copy of the sonogram and am suppose to see him tomorrow night. Today his office calls to cancel my appointment because he has a family emergency. He probably won't be available for at least 2 weeks maybe longer. At this point I am really freaking out and feel like I am stuck in quicksand and each day I sink a little further. I am gioing to see another gastro Doctor in the same office on Thursday night. Hopefully he will read the sonogram and clear me. This sonogram definitly has me concerned. I know I am rambling on but it is actually making me feel better to get some of this out. I just hope all these roadblocks are not signs for me not to have this surgery, stranger things have happened. IF anyone has a suggestion or if you think I am plain old nuts please let me know Thanks...

04/04/03 - Good Afternoon all. Just thought I would update my status for those of you that are following me. My sonogram is in the hands of the gastro doctor to review if all I have is a fatty liver or he wants to run some more tests to make sure all is ok. My surgeon's office says that most of the time its the former and he will just fread the sonogram and ask for new blood work and then clear me.I hope that the case, another round of testing may really put my patience over the edge. I know its all pre-cautionary but enough is enough. Sometimes I think I will never get a date. Well You all have a fantastic weekend. Those who are waiting like my let's try to keep smiling and fighting, those of you on the other side keep up the great work.
