Thanx Ginnie! I do have hope, just kinda afraid I guess. There are so many nice and kind people on this board including you. I am thankful for all of you!

The neurosurgery clinic in Shreveport LSU have very good and qualified specialists. I have been up there several times and have seen them. I feel comfortable with them. But of course I wasn't looking at surgery then either lol. But again, I know they are good. I guess what makes me uncomfortable is that those Shreveport drs are about 3 1/2 hours away from my home so if they send me home the following day and somethings comes up, I have no neurosurgeons around here that will take my medicaid card. That means another trip up there that is not that easy for me to make. But I know the Lord will make a way for everything that I need. Oh me of little faith! He has been so good and come thru for me so many times in the past. How easily we tend to forget sometimes. I know it's all going to turn out ok. Thank you Ginnie for your encouragement! I so appreciate all of you who have talked with me and encouraged me. You guys are awesome!
