My surgeon told me he wanted a letter and a phone call for the psychological clearance... Soooooo, I got him a letter clearing me for surgery, and a phone call that lasted about ten minutes (I was present for the phone call). Now they are telling me that is not enough and that they want a "profile" with a "conclusion." I told them I would get that for them. They said that is what they usually get, so I'm only a little flustered. I think the doc should have told me what he wanted so that I could provide that for him the first time. I was hoping to be scheduled sometime in June, but it's looking like that is out of the question now. I will be out of town for the last three weeks in May, so I won't be able to get him that until probably the beginning of June. Oh well. I am a patient person, as a rule, so I will just have to be patient and wait this out. I was hoping not to have to deal with surgery/recovery during the hottest months of the year. lol Oh well.
