Re: back online!!- Update from Keri

[Guest guest]

Dear Keri,

It was so great to meet you and Josh and I so much enjoyed our

conversations at the symposium. I'd been wondering when we

would hear about your meeting with Dr. Sutherland. It sounds as

though he's prepared to do the right procedure to help you with

all your problems, and that's such great news!

Glad, too, to hear that the Percocet is working better for you. It's

what I've been using for breakthrough pain for the past 1 1/2

years, and it's rarely failed me. I do take the 10/325 dosage, so

I'm not quite as concerned about too much acetaminaphin,

though if I could talk my doctor into just the oxycodone alone, I'd

be much happier!

I'm sure you're on pins and needles waiting on the approval

letter from Sutherland, and on the insurance company giving you

the go ahead. Please let us all hear about this as soon as you

do. Meanwhile, take it easy and try not to let the apprehension

and tension while you're waiting get you too stressed out.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

Keri,

it's so nice to hear from you and that your computer is working again.

We've missed you on the board. It was great meeting you at the

Symposium. I hope your insurance company gets that letter soon an that

you'll get the approval in a short time so that you can have the surgery

as soon as possible.

My appointment with Dr. Sutherland went very well.

Hi Keri, it is so good to hear from you. We have been wondering how your

appointment went with Dr. Sutherland. You are so right. He is so kind. I hope

that your insurance co. will approve you without a lot of hassle. Please keep

us up to date on what is going on in your life with your pain, approval of

your insurance and surgery date.

It was so nice to meet you and your husband. Now I have a face to put with

Keri. I will be thinking of you everyday until you are finished with surgery

and home again doing great. Take care. Shirley
