Default Hi

Sometimes I think the waiting for the return of function and relative comfort is the worst part of this process. If you have a supportive surgeon, you might talk to him/her. I always got the ones who got all upset when I complained of severe spasm and assorted pains for months post op. I had one fool who chewed me out on my two week visit when I said I was REALLY uncomfortable and could not find a decent position to rest in. Forget sleep. He had the nerve to say "what's wrong with you? Dont you know that you are repaired and the incission has healed nicely?" I was exhausted, in real pain and tired of his BS. I fired back "Have you forgotten all of the rooting around you did to effect a three level repair? Have you forgotten the grenade that I am certain you dropped in there?" That's when I had my primary doc refer me to a pain doc who got things under reasonable control so I could begin to slowly increase my level of function. Best wishes.
