  • Monday -Diabetes Doctor

    Tomorrow morning at 11am I have an appointment with my Diabetes Doctor who will be saying yes or no as to whether or not I can have my surgery now. I feel fairly certain that he should be saying yes based on my numbers over the past two weeks but until I hear the words out of his mouth, I will not feel any thing is for certain.

    So if you pray, please keep me in your prayers

    Thanks

    Melissa

    Melissa,

    Thank you for welcoming me. I will pray for your appointment tomorrow, as I have been praying for your outcome and outlook over these last few months. I think if you knew how many out there were worrying about you, and others on this forum- there are probably many out there who do not post, and yet are wishing you well...

            I got a yes from my Diabetes Doctor. Now my surgeon's scheduling nurse is seeing what she can do for me soon.She said that she will call me in a couple of days. I hope that I hear from her before Easter.It would be a nice Easter present

            Thanks for all your encouragement and your prayers.

            They all helped
