Dear Tonya,
I understand your fear, and am writing to reassure you that it is
normal. I don;t think there was anyone more scared than me about the
decision to go to Germany. It all happened so fast. The day I went to
the bank with my husband to wire the money to Dr. Krushinski, I was so
shook I could barely sign my name. I felt desperate on one hand and
absolutely idiotic on the other hand that I would be going to a foreign
country and having surgery by a doctor who had never even seen me. But
it all worked out. I was there three weeks and two days and saw the
before and after laporoscopic photos of a number of patients. I had
many discussions with Dr. K. and was very observant of everything
going on with me and others. I have been a nurse for 32 years, and I
would say he is the best! Even after the patients return to the US, he
writes to us to see how we are doing. Every time I have written to him
on e-mail, I get a response within 24 hours, sometimes within one hour.
I wish you the best. Love from the sisterhood of ARD. Mary Lou
