Tues Feb 8th it is!!!!!!
 

Thought I would just start a new thread for this procedure to let you all know how it goes/went.......and hopefully the next battery will have a longer shelf life:rolleyes:

Im booked in for the surgery on Tues Feb 8th.....it will be done in the evening time so dont have to be in the hospital until at least 2pm. This is great because it means I can organise my daughter and get her off to school and out of the way(so to speak , as she gets very upset seeing me going off) and when she comes home I will be gone.

Cant say Im looking forward to this one bit. I dont really know how I feel, angry, upset, afraid, nervous, shocked, at a loss........this apparently only happens to 1% of implantees and guess who JUST happens to be in that 1%

The only good thing I suppose is that I will be put to sleep and wont have to endure the pain of the injections nor the actual procedure....thankfully something is going right. ;)

Roll on Wednesday;)

Jackie:grouphug:

Good luck. I am going in on the 8th for the trial. Let's hope the 8th is a great day for all of us.
Patty

Only four more days until you're restored to the butt buzzers:D Hoping and praying for you that it will go smoothly, painlessly and that the results will be better than hoped for. :hug::hug:

For Both Jackie and Patty
 

May your forthcoming procedures remedy what is wrong, produce relief where there is pain, demonstrate to others the properness of your procedure to satisfy all of their queries, and especially in the case of Jackie may ALL costs be borne by those who are truly responsible so as not to add to any family strain [and may your daughter be comforted in knowing her Mum will be cared for and restored to more active relationship because this is occurring].

By the way Jackie with your statistics on the odds, perhaps you should be about and purchasing a lottery ticket. May as well....:D

Oh, and just in case you are wonderin, I will be a prayin for you all at this time,
Mark56:hug:Z

Thank you all
 

Patty I really hope you find the trial of benefit. Im sure you will as it seems to help so many people. I am praying too that the 8th is a VERY GOOD day for us both!!

Fiona I definitely want to be back in the land of butt buzzers asap:D

Mark ....question!!!! ....spoke with my Rep yesterday and she mentioned that the company will have to look at the battery and investigate it before they decide if they would pay my excesses. They said as a 'goodwill' gesture they would, provided their equipment is at fault. SO my question would be........where do I stand in relation to the battery being taken away and once out of my sight and me, how do I know if its their fault or mine, Ive only their word for that dont I??? Bit annoyed to think that it has to be replaced in the first instant and it ISNT my fault (well as far as I know it isnt, as I didnt bang it or fall):confused: Medically it looks good, no migrated leads and everything looked in its place, which would then point to a technical issue, therefore the company are responsible:confused:arent they????:mad:

It will be an interesting few weeks! to say the least

Oh and Im definitely going to do the Lotto:Dalthough knowing my luck I definitely wont win it......

Thinking of you all:grouphug:

Jackie:hug:

See a Barrister NOW
 

Find a friend with a good recommendation regarding your situation and get in NOW to see someone!!!! This is critical! Evidence needs to be preserved. While it is easy for the company to mention a goodwill gesture, frankly, if the merchandise is defective and causes your revisit to the surgical suite, it is a matter of LAW not goodwill which enforces a code of ethical conduct in the business to make good.

If you have not started to speak with anyone yet..... NOW, NOW, NOW, so the battery removed from you does not go the way of so may other pieces of medical evidence..... into the hazardous waste heap. Clarity and preservation of the record, the evidence, the performance, the effect on you as a patient..... these are ALL THINGS a Barrister can aid with. Go it alone and let the company be in full control, you could regret it later.

I may sound BLUNT, but you are a friend in need indeed.
Urgently,
Mark56:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek ::eek:

Mark you are amazing. Thank you so much for that . Yes I will definitely pursue that road...but typically its FRIDAY now so first thing Monday morning I will be on the phone and try to get something done BEFORE my replacement on Tues.....

thanks again:hug:

Unless You Know Someone
 

Makes calls to friends over the weekend seeking to secure a name or names of someone who works in the areas of products liability and potential medical malpractice. I say that only because the issues could overlap, not necessarily but possibly. Must move quickly, assuredly, carefully and call.... please!

Mark:hug:

Wow!
 

VERY Well said Mark! Oh my Lord what would we be without you!!

Jackie! I am so sorry to be a day late and a dollar short for getting on this thread! This is SUCH an important one!!

Will certainly be a week to remember!
Patty, for YOU as well!
These are important landmarks you are reaching!

I'm sittin on the edge of my seat here!!

Oh my Oh MY OH MY!! :grouphug:

.....I do have in inner sense of peace about it all btw...... :cool:.......
I honestly feel this will unfold in a wonderful way......
I just love the way Mark steps up to the plate on issues such as this....always looking out for our best interests
Thank you dear Bro!

:hug::grouphug::hug:

Rae What are you like apologising for not being here sooner:D you are ALWAYS here with some great words of support for all of us.....so behave:hug:

Yes I think this week will be THE BEST one...or at least thats what Im banking on right now;)

Miserable, murky, dark , dismal day here today and has been all weekend:mad:.......so glad of the company and support on here though

Thank you all:grouphug:
