But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

@LizK
Dear Liz:
Wowzers, this is wonderful news indeed....  It is so good to see how it worked out so well...
Just remember that I said "Never give up, never surrender" in my previous comment.
Persistence and follow up usually pays off.

I hope and am trusting that all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted and also that they determine that your private health insurance is all in proper order for the surgery to proceed.

Thank you for sharing this good report...
I will be eager to see more updates leading to your special day, December 4th

Hugs and wishing your well,
Danielle

Thanks for the kinds words and the wonderful supportive messages. It is a great weight off my shoulders and I am so pleased. It is going to cost me about $1000 extra but it could have been a lot worse.

Irony or Murphys Law...?

Just got off the phone from my pain management Dr and as I suggested, he was quite open to looking at alternatives to ICU and that all that had to do was call him. I certainly didn't need an ICU bed "as such"(even though thats what he said in his report)but somewhere where they can keep an eye on me ....I explained that originally they were going to postpone surgery till next year and his response was "Oh No we can't have that" I explained that it was now all sorted and I was going to ICU....he said that was fine "if that was the facilities they had"...what the!!...If he had called me earlier today it would have made a difference but It doesn't matter it's all too late now anyway. I have my new date :icon_dance: :icon_dance: :icon_dance: :icon_dance:

You know it


I just received an email back from Mr Ives rooms and it seems that I may actually only need to change 1 flight as they will see me a bit earlier due to Xmass coming up and there is a good chance I can come home the day we orginally planned meaning it won't cost any more than a one way flight to Melbourne which is about $140AU. Phew...its is going to work out Okay.  :laugh: ^-^

Liz, what a relief, and what wonderful news.  And that pain doc...  What a pain!  I hope the relief wins out over the annoyance.

Congratulations on clearing a huge roadblock!

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Yes Michelle it has been a torrid week and one I do not wish to repeat, however it had a silver lining which I will talk about a bit more in my next post.


My Pain(in the backside) mangement Dr....I knew what he was driving at and a negotiated position was possible, however he left no choice about it for my surgical team in his report...I have had this issue with him befoer over reports and the same kind of thing. Having said all that, in each case he has had my best interests at heart. Not that it matters anymore.


Take care

Liz

Hi Davina yes things are definitely back on track thanks for the kind wishes. It really scares me what they are proposing but I have to go with the flow at this stage. Hope your wrist is feeling better now.

Take care
