Finally had my Neurosurgery consultation

[crazycanuck]

Mary,

It's nice to see you finally got an appt!!! It doesn't make sense why they made you wait so long..

You'll be back on your bike and beating me km wise.. In the meantime, i'm biking for you

Here's hoping that stress test is much easier & your neurosurgeon takes up cycling

It's exciting that there's progress and that the surgery doesn't sound incredibly invasive and with a fairly quick recovery.

Please keep us posted.

Oh Mary! I do hope that cardio checks you out quickly. Hang in there! I do think that the body remembers! More importantly, the mind remembers! Your desire to be on the bike is what will pull you through. You know the feelings of fitness and you yearn for it. I pray that you are able to get the procedure quickly and able to get back to your life!

I certainly hope the cardio gets you in quickly so you can be cleared for surgery and start living painfree again. I agree with Silver, the body and mind remember. Kleep hanging in there. I cannot imagine the frustrtation, although I do recall mine with lack of info dealing with Neurologists-but I shall not go down that road. Take care of you. We are hear to listen, so do not feel alone. Keep us updated.

Mary, I hope all this will soon be just a blimp in your memory and you'll be back living life the way you choose.

big hugs!

Thanks everyone, I just called this morning to see if I needed my Primary care to authorize the Cardio appt and found out I have my appt on April 2! So hopefully I don't have to go through anything else after they see me (I really don't want to have to go through another stress test) and Neuro told me as soon as I see Cardio and get the clearance to call immediately to let them know so they can go ahead with the surgery scheduling..
The good news is my appt with Cardio is April 2, but the bad news is, my husband has an appointment earlier in the morning and we're waiting for test results from more blood work, xrays and such to find out why he's lost so much weight. Doc "felt" something in the colon area during prostate exam so he had colonoscopy done in January. They found a polyp which was removed, luckily it was benign, but it was the type that had it not been caught in time could have turned cancerous. They also didn't find it in the area that the doctor thought he'd felt something. CT scans were recommended, but so far not done, but the doc ran another full series of bloodwork. I'm hoping we don't have bad news (they are still checking for cancer) that would possibly push my BP/stress levels up etc to be a problem for my appt. I'm more worried about my husband than myself at this point really.
So there you are, Phew... Oh, and BTW, I'll NEVER be NORMAL LOL...
