We met with Dr. Kristin Skinner this morning. That was our fifth and final surgeon consult. We liked her. She had a social worker meet with us, much like the psychiatrist appointment at Cleveland Clinic. They are trying to make sure that we are handling this stress in a healthy way. They ask what we are telling the kids and how we are going to take care of the kids after surgery.
Out of the 5 doctors - we have narrowed it down to Dr. Ruth Hetland and Dr. Skinner. We are leaning toward Dr. Hetland.
I had my blood pressure taken at this appointment and it was 140/77.
Nurse: Are you a little stressed today?
Me: Yes, I am terrified for our country this morning.
We have one more consult with a plastic surgeon - Dr. Stephen Vega. That will be next Tuesday. At that point, if his ideas follow closely with what we heard at Cleveland Clinic, we are ready to schedule this surgery. I am looking forward to finalizing things and scheduling the surgery. I know I need to hit bottom in order to start climbing out of this hole. And I am ready.
