WOW Carrie, I was really hoping that you found out something..

I don't agree with Farries, that he can't do anything for you and putting it all on another doctor. He is a specialist for **** sake. I do like the fact that he dictated a letter to Nohr. (I will be posting info under my story today about my week!). If its NOT GBP related then almost any surgeon could help you an even if its GBP related Farries is a GBP surgeon. The more I hear about Farries, the more I don't like him. Nohr is back on Monday from holidays. DOUBLE make sure that they receive the letter. Nohr will see you if he gets the RIGHT paperwork....If there are ANY issues with you seeing him, promise me you will let me know and I will call the office on your behalf if you give them permission to talk to me. I have NEVER had ANY issues with Nohr.

This needs to be addressed ASAP. My heart is breaking reading about all the crap you are going through. Can your own doctor help you with the malnourishment and dehydration issues? You can't work on healing if your body is not up to par.

Hugs honey....between you and I, we should book one room in Med Hat and camp out there together and both get better....

Any new news Carrie? Get a date for apt. with Nohr? How are you doing with fluids and foods?

Hey, can you tell me the exact name of what you drank at Starbucks? They think I am crazy here and the one I asked for is loaded with sugar.....I thought I had the lingo down....

Dont you ever apologize for whining in my ear.. you are so NOT a whiner.. I wish I could come take care of your kids, house, job for you while you get better.. you have no idea (ok.. so you have a pretty good idea. ) I love you girl.. you know what I think of your entire mess.. I just want you nourished, and back to being the happy bubbly perky Carrie I first met... you know.. the one that was healthy.. and excited about everything...

And. besides.. you listen to the soap opera I call a life lol... without judging.. thats just what we do lol...

*Great Big Bear Hugs*

(PS.. you have to be up for some phone yahtzee pretty soon.. when Im at my moms house going nuts recovering....LOL)

Carrie, so glad you finally heard from Nohr and that you have an appointment. Just wish it wasn't so far away.

Hi, Carrie......

I'm Sorry For All The Problems That You Had To Experience. But On The Good Side, Other People, Like Me Who Have Not Had The Surgery Can Get An Idea On Some Of The Things That Could Possible Go Wrong.

I Was Very Upset At How The Techs Lacked The Compassion And Common Sense When It Came Time To Assist You. Their Behavior Was Inexcusable And In My Opinion Unacceptable. I Hope You Will Report That So When The Next Patient Comes In, They Will Not Have The Same Thing Happen To Them. I Am A Nursing Assistant And If I Would Have Seen Someone Do What You Described, Not Only Would I Have Told Them That I Didn't Approve, But I Would Have Gone Up The Proper "chain Of Command".

Sounds Like You Are Now On The Proper Road To Recovery. Also, Please Don't Go Back To Work So Soon. I'm Sure There Will Still Be Good And Not So Good Days In The Weeks To Come. Even If You Feel Great On The Outside, Remember What All The Others Are Telling You About Your Insides. That Will Take Longer To Heal.

Lots Of Luck To You. Please Keep Me In Mind As My Surgery Date Is Closing In On Me. (august2)

God Bless You.

Blondie

She hasnt ever left work Blondie.. This chick works like 60-70 hour weeks.. runs three very active kids around.. and still keeps her house and cooks for her family.. and makes time to talk to her friends..

Sis.. you know my message for Nohr... Im not real sure I even want you near him.. but you have to do what you have to do... I just wish he hadnt pretended you didnt exist for the first 7 months of this mess... *insert bleep here*

Love ya. and cant wait to hear how it goes... I'll be home on the last day of hell week So you can call ANYTIME
