As you well know I have been trying to have a Total Knee Replacement on my right knee. As of today I am not even on the surgery list. The Doctor's assistant Jim says he will get back with us, that was yesterday. If you can't take the word of a Doc to be true, then I wonder what kind of a surgeon he is. I am pretty much blown away by this. Now about the pain. I don't usually come on here and talk about the pain I am having. However, it is there 100% per day. I am sorry but I can't even continue with this. :oww: I hope everyone is doing great! Snowdoove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told me that if she didn't hear something by tomorrow, she would go and tell to the Chief of Staff for that VA. I told I wanted her to go and see him today. That I have waited 8 months already. So I went looking for the Chief of Staff. He wasn't in today so I talked with the next person in line. I explained my plight with her. I told her the operation is for my service connected knee. She called Denise and suggested that she see the Chief of Staff early tomorrow morning. The Chief is a Doctor. He will call the Chief of Staff in Ann Arbor. If nothing comes of this then I can go to another plan where the VA will pay the bill for me to have it done in Grand Rapids with my seculiar Doc. So I made of head way. So One-Way, GOD heard your prayer. Thanks! Snowdoove :t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Good News! The Doctor who is Chief of staff of the Grand Rapids VA emailed the Chief of Staff Doctor at Ann Arbor VA. A man by the name of Steve phoned and left his message on my voice mail. I returned his call today however this is Saturday and advised him to call me Monday in the am. Don't hold your breath on this ---however I may just get my surgery in August, GOD willing! I'll let everyone know after I find out. Snowdoove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
