Hi all,

As you all know, I've been waiting for my new dr.(who is going to do the revision for the scs), to call me. It's been almost 6 wks, and nothing from him. I've called my PM dr, and cried, moaned,etc. I called again today and spoke to his surgical nurse. She said that once they send the info to another dr. that it is out of their hands. Needless to say, it went over like a lead snowflake. So I got on line and found another neursurgeon, and he happens to be here in my area. I called, and the first appt I could get was going to be for Oct 13. So instead, I went on the cancellation list. Hopefully, I'll get in before too long. So, after that what happens? Right, the other dr's office called. They will call in the morning to schedule an appt. I guess what I'm thinking is that the dr that hadn't called for 6 wks isn't going to do the surgery. I don't trust him or his office. If he can't get his act together, then why would I trust him. This other dr is close to home, and he keeps you overnite in the hosptial to make sure everything is fine. The dr that didn't call is over a 2 hr drive one way, (he's also at Georgetown University hospital with my PM) For some reason, with the local dr. I feel at peace and relaxed, and even tho I've never met him or anything, I think it is the smart move to go with him. What do you all think?

Hugs
Mary
