Hooray! Finally I got a name for a surgeon who WILL take me -- and, Dr Jimenez' #1 choice is the same name as Marilyn got for me way back when, so I feel it is fortuitous. His name is Stephen Fuhs of the Seattle Hand Surgery Group! I have started the process to get the chart notes and films of my MRI to the office, and the notes from the neurologist's "zapping" of both sides of the Carpal Tunnel to see the nerve response time. So, I'm stoked, it's only been since 11/8 that I've been trying to get a name -- so I'm stoked. This is one major thing that I have chosen to not put off even though Mom has been a priority for the past year plus, because if I miss the window of opportunity where my nerves are still good, and maybe benefit from the surgery. There are enough scary elements associated with the surgery, especially with my added FMS /MPSstuff that will make recovery more of a challenge. So, the 30th will be the initial consult. I'll keep y'all posted. ##
