And yet you manage to find ways to laugh. You are a special couple; I'm glad to know you and have met you in person, several times. :) We said Hi to Osage last weekend while passing through, if I haven't mentioned it already. :)Roxane B.

It doesn't sound like these doctors have much sympathy with what seems like horrendous pain.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it.<br /><br />Second - Leave no stone unturned. The next opinion (Mayo) could turn out to be a doctor that is an expert at TN. Just my opinion :)<br /><br />Emma sends kisses for Chance<br /><br />The DuchessEmma Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12328489404734439282009-11-03T13:01:10.903-06:002009-11-03T13:01:10.903-06:00It is a frustrating situation, but you must have a...It is a frustrating situation, but you must have a hatchet as no one will carry it for you. I can't believe I am telling you that, but you have to be your own advocate. The pain is real, and your pain is also real. I find wisdom comes at the time that it is suppose to come, so if and when Mayo seems to be on the list, do it. The best thing is that you are talking about it and not ignoring it. Just if we can get to some doctor that also isn't ignoring it.L.

I went to them when cancer was found, I went in on Monday, met with a doc, they scheduled tests, had tests on Tues, got results on Wed and saw the surgeon and had surgery on Thursday - yes, all that fast. They know many people drive/fly from long distances, so once you're there you are there until you're fixed. And every single person was friendly and helpful and full of strength and encouragement - not one person there in my many months of chemo and tests and such was - they are all outstanding!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219366045767828564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-72842007559444152132009-11-03T12:12:46.563-06:002009-11-03T12:12:46.563-06:00I love the poster!

No one understands what it is like if they never suffer from headaches or lives with someone who does. Migraine is mine I take all the meds the daily doses, the ones when its starts and this month nothing is working, well, there not as bad but they won't go away. I can't imagine what his is like. I hope this Dr. has the answers and maybe the surgery is it.

We are always tempted to try just "one" more Dr./facility to see if maybe they know something someone else didn't. At some point, we have to make the decision to trust that one person and pray that the Lord blesses that person with compassion and wisdom and an earnest desire to improve the situation. I pray that is what you have with this Dr. God bless you both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-30184370669895107372009-11-03T12:09:48.409-06:002009-11-03T12:09:48.409-06:00It must be so frustrating for both you.

Unless anyone else has lived it, it is hard to describe the emotions that surround it. It has to be difficut changing doctors so often. It is sort of like a roller coaster ride. <br />I will keep both of you in prayers and hope for a breakthrough for Far Guy real soon.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-56467403275969575962009-11-03T11:39:34.098-06:002009-11-03T11:39:34.098-06:00I feel for you, I can't imagine what this is l...I feel for you, I can't imagine what this is like.
