That's wonderful news, !!! If he has done enough of that type

of surgery, and he saiys he is confident, then chances are that he

is right!! That has been my experience doing those types of

surgeries, anyway. But, I'll keep my prayers coming just in case

the pathologist finds it otherwise. Hope your mom gets to feeling

better....Love and Prayers.....Marina/Ohio

Although Dr. Heldrus cannot say with 100% confidence until the path

report comes in, he told Sharon and that he is quite confident

in saying the mass excised yesterday is benign. Thank you, thank you,

thank you. Will follow up with confirmation when it comes.

ended up going with Sharon yesterday. I had planned to - and then got

socked in with a snow storm on Sunday. Mom also is still pretty down

for the count with flu. called her to find her out how she was

doing and left a message for me that he would be going- not to

attempt the drive. Sharon felt comfortable with that. Anyway, thank

you again.

I was overly nervous last time I went through it about 6 years ago. I filled

out a form first, then had to give a urine sample and actually had to get

undressed! The time before that it had been over 10 years and all I did was

have my b.p. taken ... what a difference. The doc was looking to see how I

moved, any pain, etc., checked my b.p. and found it was too high for their

standards so I had to prove I saw a doctor and was under his care ... nothing

was said about my weight which is up there, too.

They were just looking for anything that would keep me from doing my job ...

there wasn't, my weight wasn't even involved.

Take a deep breath and trust God ... like your friend says.

Tess - Great news. I wouldn't worry. Most they can do if they have some

question is ask for some confirmation from your doc.

Tess, That's GREAT news!! I am so glad for you!! Be sure that you

tell them ALL the meds you are on. It's important for the drug

screen. Don't worry about having narcotics in your system if your

doctor has prescribed them for you. When I took on a second job

with a surgery center, they didn't ask about my meds (i didn't do

the medical exam part, i just told them I have RA) but they did do a

drug screen. The doctor who was running the test called me at home

to ask me if I was prescribed Vicodin and I told him that I was. He

just wanted the name and number of my pharmacy to check that I did

have a prescription there. Funny, though, I would have thought that

the pharmacy couldn't give out that info without my consent, what

with the HIPPA regulations now days!! Way to go, Tess. Good luck

at your exam....Love and Prayers.....Marina

Fantastic, Tess!

I'm not sure what you will have to disclose. Just fill out whatever forms

you are given accurately and answer all questions honestly. You will be

fine.

Good luck!

Hi Penny,

That is wonderful news! I hope the casting goes well. And I don't

think it even compares to a blood draw!!! It is hard to watch your

child when you know they're in pain, but casting is completely

painless and many babies don't cry at all. Those who do are

probably upset with being held down more than anything! Oh, did the

do the measurements again? Was there any change? Let us know how

the casting goes!
