This is my first post, but here goes. My first meeting with my Dr was in November 2011, I did everything they wanted..all the testing, scopes, mental evals etc. I went to my last Dr visit before surgery in early April, I was sooo excited!! I would be setting my surgery date on my next visit for pre op!! Then on April 29 my family & I were t-boned coming home from a birthday party. Thankfully my daughter & husband walked away with minor injuries, my son was hurt horribly..air lifted away from us all, but is doing super now!! Myself, well I broke all my ribs on my left side & a few other breaks, cuts etc. when I came to in the hospital a day or two later all I could do was think about "what about my surgery!".. & of couse my son!! I cried a lot!! I called my Drs office & let them know that it would be on hold for a bit, my nurse actually cried with me on the phone that day. Fast forward 8 months...we are all healed up & I got my surgery date!!! January 29th!!!! I can't wait, I'm so ready for this! This site was a real help to me while healing from our accident it kept me hopeful & I can't wait to see what the future holds!! Oh..& go NOTRE DAME!!!!
