Default Thrilled
Oh so happy for you
There is hope
Do do your homework
Your wanted wherever you post
Hug your partner for me
Having your dog knowing the
comfort you get
I need to find a friend
I am just not ready to replace
my dog that still lives
He lives with my eldest
Helps alert when she is in seizure
mode
You be well
Stay strong
Love
Me

Well, I got thru the 3 hour procedure and am now home in AGONY !
Made it all the way to the OR before the Doc observed they prepared him the wrong Coolief "kit" that has all the proper equipment in it - all the correct needles and hardware. The one they had ready was for a lumbar procedure and couldn't be used on a neck.

My Doc was furious since it wasn't replaced by the people tasked with ensuring new ones were ordered immediately after being used. Murphy 's Law showed up and they didn't have a replacement in the hospital. Because of this the Dr himself pulled some serious strings by calling Walter Reed and borrowing one from his old crew there. He literally jumped in his Porsche and raced over there to pick it up and get right back to me! Talk about personal concern and service!

Don't recall much of it due to some heavy anesthesia which still lingers now so I better sign off before I start making some uncool comments here!

Hey Gunny,

That is dedication on your behalf. What a great Dr.

You have gotten through the worst of it, now is the time to stay calm, relax and patiently wait for the effects to kick in for your benefit.

We are all here for you.

Dave.

Default Fingers crossed
Gunny, got my toes n fingers crossed and saying a small prayer for you. Really I am hoping this Coolief RFA has worked and you can get some much needed relief.

So sorry you had to be put thru all that extra anxiety; but you seemed to really do your best to hang in there. Your doc is "unbelievable". I would think knowing how much he cared really helped.

Hope the "agony" is only temporary and you are now getting good relief from your procedure. When you feel up to it; let us know how you are coming along.
Because we care....
