Thanks Russ

Yeah I don't have a neuro. I know right, lol. I can't find good help.

I just don't understand how people who have had surgery, in way more remote places than where I live, had gotten these so called protocols before surgery, during, after and I am like some lone wolf howling at the moon begging for doctors/surgeons to help as if I am on some deserted island with no good care or willingness to help me, and so far, it has been near impossible.

I am so happy other people have gotten support and been good advocates for themselves. Truly I am. I guess I am just way less effective a spokesperson for myself. I try and try, I trust that this time I WILL get er' done as they say and get some support and help from my surgeon, PM and anesthesiology dept. I can only pray and try and pray and try and beg, a little. :-)

thanks
