Hi Hrissy,

I am sorry that your AN turned out to be so big once again. But I am glad that now you have a solid plan and you are about to receive treatment. For sure there are the logistical details that you have to iron out, such as the flights etc., but it will all be sorted out don't worry.
I am sure that you will be in the hands of very skillful surgeons. And it is great that you will have your brother with you to support you.
We are all thinking about you, please make sure to update us regularly.

Take care,
Marianna

I finally managed to book a flight to hannover.

it will be on Oct 12, i will depart from Bulgaria very early in the morning, transfer in Munich and then finally land in 10:30 am in Hannover. I will then take a cab straight to the hospital and get admitted - hope flights will have no delays. I already gave a call to the clinic and informed them that I might delay due to my flights. They assured me that there will be a doctor to admit me so it will not be problem!

So, Jim (I know you are dealing with the calender - sorry to burden you - if you tell me how, i will fix my schedule) my surgery itself will take place either on Monday or on Tuesday depends on prof Samii's schedule!

My brother booked a hostel for him so I feel prepared as far as the logistics part goes!

that's for now!
expect more updates!

Hrissy,
Glad to hear you have the logistics out of the way and that your brother will be in Hannover with you.  I'm sure he will be a real comfort to you and that he will be glad to be there for you.  You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers and I truly hope they get the whole thing this time. Keep positive thoughts and I will also cross my fingers toes and everything else crossed for you for good luck too.

Best wishes,
Wendy

Thank you for the soothing words, dear wendy!!

since i promised to keep you all updated, here is my latest update!

today i went to the bank to deposit the last sum of money my coworkers have gathered and to finally see how things with my account are.
We had to count all the banknotes on the counter - imagine us with piles of notes counting all of them manually!! 
Finaly, we deposited them and after that i asked for a sheet of all the transactions from the opening of the account till now. Since i have three accounts - one in EURO, one in USD and one in LEVA (the national currency of Bulgaria) i asked for three sheets.

I was very disappointed to see that my cousin's money from US hadn't arrived and since it was a really substantial part i did not have all the money necessary for my surgery in Hannover. In the time of my disappointment, one of my coworkers noticed that the two sums of money on both of the sheets for USD differ from one another.
Then we asked the girl on the counter and she checked the status of the bank accounts again - it turned out that my cousin's money came in the time of 20 sec when the girl on the counter was switching between my three bank accounts!
I was so pleasantly surprised!!!
Hope this is a good sign from fate!!

Now i feel equipped to depart on Sunday!!

Hrissy,
I join you in thinking your cousin's money transfer was a good sign!  Now you probably have done and arranged everything you possibly can.  Try to keep busy with doing things for yourself that will give you pleasure  for a couple of days if you can -- see friends, do something fun, etc. 

Best wishes,
Wendy

Hi all,

I wanted to share that yesterday I made the bank transfer to the INI Hannover and money are to be received either on Monday or on Tuesday! I sent the money orders to the clinic via fax after that!
I depart to Germany on Sunday morning (Bulgarian time  ) to be admitted right after my drive by cab from the airport to the clinic!!

So now what is left is to pray for the best outcome!!

Thank you for your moral support!!

Hrissy,

I'll be praying for you and know you will do very well.  Blessings to your doctors and nurses as they perform your surgery, may they be focused on the task at hand, may they be guided to perform with perfection giving you a positive outcome.  May you wake feeling peace and may your healing be a rapid successful one. 

I look forward to hearing from you when you are able.

Hrissy,
