today we met with doctor #6...we asked questions...she answered questions...the surgery will be scheduled...not sure when (because it takes about two weeks to schedule it)...i asked for it to be scheduled in october...to allow plenty of time for us to get our ducks in a row...she said she will see what she can do, but the look on her face seemed to say...um, yeah, no....it seems like there are several doctors involved when it comes to the removal of one's entire leg (orthopedic, vascular and reconstructive surgeons to name a few) ...and trying to make it work for everyone's schedule is a challenge, so basically, i get in, when i get in...talk about life stressors...we are about to be under some crazy fishsticks and such stress....i learned some things i didn't want to really know (i did want to know, but it's now what i wanted to hear)...basically, she said, we are talking time bomb...(love that language)...so the sooner the better...joy....(doctor #6 has to work on her poker face).

Having the docs tell you that when things are going to happen is not something you'll be able to have much control over just plain sucks.
We're sorry the visit didn't go as you hoped it would. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help reduce some of the looming fishsticky-stress...
*hugs*
your doctor might be better at yahtzee than poker then. less strategy involved. no need for a poker face. but i'm with you, v. as always...
thanks noshi and squigg. much appreciated.
