Good Morning Everybody,
It is with great pride that I resurect this great thread I found in the Archives section, written in 2005!
:)Yesterday, I found it, it was originally started by David Wrubel. In it he mirrors my feelings almost exactly, really. Thank you David (wherever you are), you have captured my feelings. It is for us to do the research, choose the most talented doctors, make the decision about which doctor or team of Docs to go with, which hospital we want to go with, get a team of supporters family and friends to pray for you (in this case it was my family ,a few of you, and a prayer circle of friends from Marriage Encounter) the day of surgery, I felt lifted as if by prayer. I had made the right choice.I had interviewed 14 doctors, not that I am thinking that all of us can do the same! I was trying to avoid surgery ! By then the majority of experts all agreed that surgery was the only option.
By all means, send your MRI and CT scans out, then pick your doctors from a limited pool. And then make your final choice and trust that your friends on this board, your family, and God are on your side to see you triumphantly on the other side of this.
Assuredly, I am in the middle of this, but thanks to David Wrubel ,other moderators like Jim and Lynn, I will make my choices soon and I will do it with God's blessing and Divine guidance!
This is the very best advice I can give!
Good luck to all in your respective interviews, my advice is let your gut lead you! Let God do everything else!
Mike
The rest was in God's hands
