The Letter Has Arrived

julie47 · 29. May 2011, 08:03

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
a quivering Julie pf x

Will be with you my lovely, you are in my thoughts hugs ((())) xxx

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. DD

suzygirl · 29. May 2011, 10:08

I can totally understand the nerves, I will be thinking of you.

constable · 29. May 2011, 12:13

Just realised it's the day after I see the ortho surgeon for my consult regarding my knees, have no idea what they're gonna say or plan on doing.. Lots of pocket hopping going on.

Also realised sashasmum appears to be a newbie so welcome mi dear, hope you are alright..

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
love juliepf x

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).xx

woodbon · 31. May 2011, 05:46

Hello, Reporting for pocket duties too. I'll bring along a big bowl of strawberries!!! :eek:
Seriously, good luck and I hope you'll make a quick recovery.
Lots & lots of love and hugs xxxx((((())))) Sue.

julie47 · 31. May 2011, 07:33

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
Love Juliepf x

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 x
