I couldn't bring myself to go--too afraid. Now I sit here and kick myself in the butt....too many questions that they will not be able to answer. Here's what I found out so far: He wants her to go for an MRI, even if RO doesn't think it's time. He seemed to impress that her throat has something going on. He did her thyroid test, haven't heard results....would they be available immediately? He is very concerned about the way her mouth hasn't healed. He seemed to be upset at the about of lidcaine she was using--thank goodness someone said something! that was making me neurotic. He thought her mouth should have healed at least a month ago. >>> Gail--sorry for not calling you! just remembered right now>>> I am going to call the MO later today, my name is on the papers to have info released to me. Please, please pray. As for me....I'm going to call my doctor, don't think I can deal with all this and the kids, holiday happenings, without breaking down. Jerry, I may call your doc if mine can't help. DAMN!!! I am so mad right now.
