Thanks to everyone for listening to me rant and rave lately over this! Hopefully I will actually have my surgery one day and I can finally shut up about all my issues, LOL

Anyway, yesterday I went to my endocrinologist and he wrote me a note for Dr. Giovanni that basically said that my current thyroid status was "not counterindicative to surgery". Which in English I guess means  that from his perspective I can move ahead with rescheduling. Woo hoo!

I faxed that note over to Dr. G's office yesterday and surprisingly enough, they actually called me this morning to set up an appt, even before I had a chance to follow up with them!! Very nice! Soooo....I have an appt with Dr. G for 10/14 and hopefully at that visit she will tell me whether or not we are ready to reschedule surgery. Since my birthday is 10/11, this would be a great birthday present!!!

I am thinking that since they usually schedule about 4 weeks from when you are ready, I could potentially be looking at mid-late November. Hopefully for sure by the end of the year! This whole thing has been a 5 month detour, but if I can get this taken care of by the end of 2009, I will still be a very happy camper!!! 
 
Fingers crossed!!!
