Hey there, I am so excited for you!  My husband & I think very highly of the Shriners & their endeavours.  We donated to their hospital instead of drawing names & exchanging gifts with our family this year.  We wish you all the best!

i am really excited and hope they can provide some insight and treatment.

Please keep us posted!  We would like to know how things work out for you.  I think that you are going to be under the best of care.  I have seen how hard the Shriners work to raise money for children with orthopaedic problems.  My Dad was a Shriner many years ago.  Take care, Suzanne

I will definately keep everyone posted. I will let yall know when i get an appt.

thanks,

Fantastic news.  Do keep us all posted.  The Shrines are very near and dear to my heart - my father was a Shriner and he enjoyed many hours helping others.  Excellent news.  eagle

Jak,

It's great that Shriners accepted you, hears hoping you will finally get some answers.

[FindnNemo91]

thanks everyone for your support. yall have been aazing. they needed a couple things, so i mailed them what they needed on monday. i dont know how long it takes for them to respond so i will update yall when i get whatever they send and when i schedule an appt. before shriners accepted me, i had already scheduled an appt with another OS cuz my doc told me to. This appt will be on the 18th of december. i will let yall know what happens, and i just hope that he doesnt tell me that it is all in my head like my first OS.

thanks again yall,
jak

Great news Jak!  Hope the Shriners can help you out.  Good luck with the other OS though.  I know how it goes, I had an OS tell me my knee pain was all in my head too.  I wonder sometimes about that, but you just go see someone else.  Best of luck.

HURRAH For YOU 

I remember when you first started talking about wanting to go to Shriners. Didn't you have a friend with some connections? It has been a very long time in coming and I really hope the best for you. Might be a good thing to print out some of your old posts so you can give them a timeline as to what went on and when. I sure even you can't remember it all. Also that will give you a guideline as to what were and are your concerns and have it to ask questions from. Just an idea.  Wishing you all the best.

i mailed in everything else that they needed...and they wrote back. they said that they get a large amount of applications, so the waiting time for an appt is about 4-8 months. they said that they would schedule an appt and write us to let us know when it is in the 3-6 months.

god thats a long time, but i do have an appt with another os on the 18th of this month. i will let yall know how that goes when it rolls around.

thanks,
jak

It will be here before you know it!  I expect that it will be worth your wait.  Take care, Suzanne
