Went to Dr Menezes today and am scheduled for surgery on June 29  I am so excited and scared at the same time. 2 days of tests and MRIs  and all with a little 3 yr old tagging along made it interesting to say the least but I hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Ty so much selma. I went through what felt like a heart attack a few minutes ago. They had asked me tocall in the beginning of the week...so I did..over 15 messages later...someone decides to call the office for me. She proceeds to tell me I have an appt with Dr. malgar on the 15th and that he is a specialist and Dr walsh reffered me to him because he doesnt do chiari surgeries anymore. I was in peices. The nurse from Dr Walsh's office called me and I could barley talk to her. She asked me why I decided to see Dr. Melgar? WHAT.....the receptionist took it upon herself to make an appointment with him and cancel dr walsh !!! The nurse called Dr walsh and explained what happened...and he was FURIOUS !!!! How dare they put my patient through that and since when does she say what operations I can perform...oooohhh....somebody is in trouuubbblllle. :)-  Just happy that it all worked out. His office never recieved any of the 12 messages I left. Dr. Walsh is having his phone lines transfered in two weeks becasue of this.

My DH said that he will make sure and update you guys for me frequently....he knows what you all mean to me :)
