The Letter Has Arrived

Hello everyone
Hope you are all enjoying the bank hol, even though the weather here in yorks isn't that good.
I went away last week for a couple of days and while I was away the postman sneaked a letter through the box. It was the letter I have been nervously waiting for.......The Neurosurgery appointment.
For those who do not know.....I have to have my odontoid peg screwed and discs c4 and c5 at a later date.
My appointment to discuss the surgery further is June 23rd at 9.30 and also that day they say I will have a pre surgery assessment. Sooo it could be a good half day app.
Would it be possible to ask for you to jump in my pocket that day please as I am really scared.
Thank you

Count me in too. I can understand how apprehensive you are but I am pleased that this particular sword of Damocles has gone. This has been hanging over you for a very, very long time so I think it's good that you now know when this appointment is: it's a little bit of pressure relieved - or has it been applied somewhere else now? I'll be there, fizz and strawberries at the ready. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Thank you guys I knew I could count on all you lovely people.
Looks like it will be a busy week for pocket duties so I will start stocking up on cakes and drink now. I will also start stocking up on positive vibes cause we will need lots to go round.
Sashasmum, thankyou for telling me about your op. I wondered if I would be in a cage afterwards. I havent been told much at the moment.
I would also like to welcome you to the forum.
I hope you all have a good monday
Thinking of you all

Hi Julie, I will be there in your pocket, and if it's o.k I will bring bubba(my cat) with me as he has a poorly paw. And could someone put a reminder up as my brain is aweful! :oops: Just remember Juile we are all here for you. ((HUGS)). Amanda,(bubbadog).xx0

Seriously, good luck and I hope you'll make a quick recovery.
Lots & lots of love and hugs xxxx((((())))) Sue.0 -
Toni, NB, Amanda and Sue.
and all you other lovely people who I thanked before
I just want to say how lucky I am to have all your support and for this I am truly grateful. Sue yes I will put a reminder near the time cause I expect you will not beable to resist those strawberrys, you will then be able to buy some more
Amanda.....course you can bring bubba, but, I hope by the 23rd his paw is better, give under his chin a tickle from me.
NB... you are not late, It is me that is very early rounding you all up Its the nerves you see
Toni...Yes I am glad the letter is here, I am not constantly waiting now for the postman. I now have a date and a target.
Still jittery though
Take care every one

Hi Julie,
Of course I will be in your pocket. I know you will be on tender hooks and I do hope they can reassure you even a little when you go.
It’s been a long wait for you and it must feel that you are on a rollercoaster of emotions.
Thinking of you.
Gentle hugs,
Lv, I x0 -
