Thanks to Karen, Carolyn and Helen, we are scheduled with Dr.
Kruschinski for surgery on July 11. The last procedure Mom had one
month ago has left her much worse. She is pretty much down to eating
broth, doubled over in pain every waking second, I can't understand how
she endures but only because there is hope! My thoughts on having to go
to Germany: I really believe we gave it a shot with American doctors.
Even this last procedure, I was skeptical, but she said she had no
choice, and it has left her in a real mess, and I didn't think she could
get worse. I guess you can't die from adhesions but I swear I don't see
her lasting another year like this. It feels life and death to me, even
if it is just quality of life. My Mom essentially left us a year ago, I
just want her back and will do anything to make that happen! So off we
go, wish us luck. I will keep posting. Her second look is scheduled on
my birthday, that will be the best present ever if she is pain-free when
we return. Thanks so much to this Forum and all your support, you have
really been angels! Holly and Angie (my Mom)
