Thank you...

[debhaz22]

I just wanted to thank you all for your support and push to get me to go to Johns Hopkins. I leave tomorrow and will see the Dr.'s there on Wednesday. I am SO scared about what I will find out, but at the same time I know I need to get answers.
If you pray I would very much appreciate a prayer that I receive good care from great Doctors. I do strongly believe in the power of prayer.
Not to drag this on, just wanted to tell you all how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
THANK YOU,
Deb H. :smile1:

[BookNut]

I will be praying that you get the best of care and treatments that will make you feel much better!!

[LindseyRN]

Deb, I will be praying so hard for you tonight and throughout the rest of the week! ((( BIG HUGS ))) to my South Carolina friend! Please keep us updated.


If you would, please include my Dad in your prayers too. Although he is better, he is still struggling with his sinuses and a a nosebleed here and there. I am going with him to his pulmonologist appointment on Wednesday and we are hoping and praying since his nodule has shrunk by half, the pulmonologist will say it will be safe to hold off on a lobectomy.


I'll be praying for your healing and for your doctors at JH to help you get well. I can't wait to read how much better you will be feeling!!!


Lindsey

[debhaz22]

Thank you Lindsey! I appreciate it, and your Dad has been, and will continue to be in my prayers :)
Please let me know how Wed. goes for him.

[debhaz22]

Thank you Jacquie! I appreciate your prayers! :biggrin1:

[pberggren1]

Of course we will pray for you Deb. What doctors do you have appointments with?

[vdub]

Best of luck to you! I'm sure they will run many, many tests, you will see several docs, and I'll bet you come home with a few answers. Let's hope so.

[annekat]

My prayers are with you, Deb. I think you will be in good hands with the doctors at Johns Hopkins. And Lindsey, I'm also thinking of your dad in my prayers. It is so hard waiting for appointments and assessments of results, and I wish him the very best outcome.

[mishb]

Always praying for my friends on here and also for a family member that is in need of many prayers at the moment.

Deb, my prayer for you is that you do not have Wegeners, because I wouldn't pray for that on anyone :sad:
I pray that it will be something easily resolved with the correct treatment and I also pray that you don't quit being a member on here when you find out you don't have WG. You can be an honorary member with Jacquie :thumbsup:

Good luck in your travels to the hospital, and sorry one more prayer, I pray that the doctors are thorough and kind ......and maybe a little good looking too can't hurt :wink1:

[debhaz22]

Ha ha! Thank you Michelle, the whistle I can now make thru the hole in my nose is very attractive, I'm sure it will in some way attract a few good looking Dr';s!!
:wink1:

[debhaz22]

Thank you Phil. I'm set to see Dr. Seo first and then an ENT but I don't remember the name.

[Lilly]

Hi Deb, its funny, because as many doctors as we see, so far, I can never find a nice, unmarried, my age doctor. I think they are all snatched up in college! LOL :-)

[Lilly]

Oh, I forgot to mention, since I have glass tubes in corners of my eyes, I can also spray people with them, if I kindof close my mouth but giggle, sometimes tears shoot out of my eyes! Im sure that's really attractive too! We can have a 2 girl comedy show! You whistle with your nose, and Ill spray with my eyes! We will be having to push the guys away!!!!

[debhaz22]

Oh Lilly, I am SO jealous!! How do I get me some of those eye things? :wink1:

[Lilly]

Ill be thinking and praying for you today.....I am totally excited that you are going to JH, and I pray that you get doctors that you connect with. I know you are scared, Ill pray for you to have peace. Im sure you have a list, and that's good, especially when you are nervous. I feel like things are going to go great, and you will learn a lot, and with all of us here praying, I cannot wait to hear all about it! Have a safe trip, and relax, take notes that the drs say, and I support you 100%!! <3

[renidrag]

Good luck tomorrow Deb. There are a few people here I think that see Dr. Seo. He is supposed to be the best.
Dale

[debhaz22]

Thank you Dale!

[Lilly]

HaHaHaHa.......Deb, ur so crazy!!!! You teach me the nose whistling, and Ill tell you how to get spitting Eyes! LOL.

[debhaz22]

Deal!! We'll plan it out!:thumbup:

[blu4runner]

Dr Seo is a great Dr with quite a sense of humor. I saw him a year ago for a second opinion while being treated at UVA in VA. Once I needed a new Dr the wait was rather long to see Dr Seo but now I see Dr Peter Merkel in Philadelphia and he too is a great GPA Dr. Keeping you in my prayers today and best of luck.

[Alysia]

I missed the time for good luck blessings... you are prob over there by now, so my prayers are with you... waiting to find out : how was it ?

[Debbie C]

Good luck tomorrow Deb,you know I'll be praying you finally get the answers and help you need. Let us know when you can,
And Lindsey, will also keep your father in my prayers that he won't need the lobectomy and everything is getting better. Keep us posted too

[vdub]

Good luck in your travels to the hospital,
THE hospital, Mitchelle? Isn't that very unaussie-like? Are you practicing to be a yank? :-)

Haha :flapper:

I wasn't really sure what to call it - I could have said "Good Luck at the Johnny" or "Have fun with John"
Is it a hospital, a clinic or a what???
These centres that you lucky people get to go to, sound massive.

I have it ................GOOD LUCK DEB :thumbsup:

[vdub]

You're right! Or, at least from a yank perspective, you are right. Normally, when we refer to hospital, we will put a "the" in front, but I have noticed that people from the common wealth will usually drop the "the". So if you see a reference to the hospital from, say the UK, it would be like "I am going to hospital." That seems to be true with Canada, aussies, kiwi's.... Just something I have noticed.

I'm not quite sure what the difference. If we put "the" in front, then "hospital" becomes a noun. But without the "the", what is it? A verb? I don't know. Oh well, sorry, I hijacked the thread, Deb.... :-)

[annekat]

I have noticed that, too, vdub, and figured Michelle was being polite by saying it the way that Deb would say it.

I share everyone's excitement to find out the results of Deb's visit at JH and how it went overall!

[renidrag]

Thinking of Deb at hospital whilst going over previous replies. I think we are going to see Putin soon.
Dale

[Debbie C]

Michelle,is a Johnny a hospital....I thought it was the bathroom. Like "Going to the john "

[renidrag]

I am ready for a report from Deb.
Moi

[mishb]

It could also be a drink Deb.
I have a friend that says she has 3 boyfriends - Johnny, Jack & Jimmy (Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam) :flapper:

[mishb]

I am ready for a report from Deb.
Moi

Yeah Deb, come on - we are hoping for good news, not any inconclusive rubbish. :wink1:

I hope it went well.

oh :sad: make me shrink and blush :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: with my poor english-grammer... I do need some refreshment...
nice new pic Dale :thumbup: what is it about ?
no need to Putin us (I think he is too busy now :rolleyes1:)...
we are just passing the time untill Deb will be back with the news... :wink1:

[annekat]

Alysia, don't worry about your English grammar. It is just fine. We always understand what you are saying. As you can see, there are some significant differences in native English speech and usage of words throughout the world.

Now, lets cross our fingers and keep waiting for a good report from Deb from Johns Hopkins! (You are right, Putin is too busy right now...)

[Debbie C]

I've been talking to Deb and I'm sure see will report when she is ready to talk. She is still in MD. sightseeing with her mom and sis.She's coming back home on Fri. but I will say she does have wg:sad:

And it proves that other dingbat rheumatologist wrong!

[renidrag]

Not what anyone wanted to hear however she is seeing the right doctor and hopefully will make great strides.
Dale

[mishb]

I personally think that having WG is a good thing - as Anne said, at least now she knows - and hey, she loves us :unsure: so hanging around here can't be all that bad ....... right :tongue1:

At least she didn't get given that horrible "inconclusive" rubbish

We look forward to hearing how it all went, when you are ready Deb.:hug1:
Enjoy your little holiday

[vdub]

but I will say she does have wg
Sorry, Deb... this is something you don't wish on anyone, but, like Mish said, its way better than not knowing. Besides, we like having you hang around here.... :-)

[Woodsyartist]

Sorry to hear about the results for you, Deb, but there is some relief in having a diagnosis. Too many of us have been strung along in a state of "not sick enough".

I am still undiagnosed, but hope for some continued good information to help move my case along.

[Lilly]

HaHaHaHa, Me Too Debra! HaHaHaHa!!!!
