the doctors office, the surgeons assistant. Go figure. But I did tell her in my email, no hurry because I didn't want to set off any alarms so I guess I need to be a little more patient. It's been six days since I emailed her. Maybe I could send another email just to remind her to respond?? Maybe she don't know what to say or maybe my surgeon told her not to?? I don't know.
But this is making me question even more as to what his thumb was doing in there, holding something back possibly?? Plus I'm not sure which incision is the one, I have one diagonal, one straight below it and the one a bit further back is the one I believe wasn't suppose to be there. And why is it NOT in the reports?? EVERYTHING is suppose to be in there! Dear Lord, I just can't help thinking something is wrong & that's why it's not in the reports...but it sure is on my body! Has ANYONE experienced something even close to this? Or may know about this ever happening? Anything at all??? ![]() ![]()

I give up on my doctors assistant.
She emailed me back & said "HI, that’s the way for surgery to be performed to stay away from your bowel movement. Please schedule with Dr. _____ for your concerns and the above questions Thank you." Talk about language barriers, I won't go there. I'm too upset. This closes this conversation for now until I see my surgeon, I hate that he can't just get on the phone with me for a 5 minute or less conversation. No....I have to make an appointment & go see him. Don't get me wrong, I love my surgeon, it's just a difficult and challenging situation for me to get there & then get home. (other issues I have). Thank you for the responses, you guys are great!

If you call they won't give the message to the dr , so he can return the call at end of day??
That's how most drs offices handle calls around here... does it look like it is healing OK? I guess that would be the main concern, I don't think they would make any incision without a good reason for it.. But it is odd no mention in your report..

Hi Jomar,
I'm just going to make a appt and talk to him face to face. I will bring a print out of the emails too. His assistant is a very nice young lady but there's defiantly a language barrier there. Yea, your right, he had to have a good reason to do what ever he did but I need to know why it's not in the report & what exactly was done! As for healing, no, or I don't know if I'm fused and I have suffered with chronic pain, horrible pain before my surgery and after is worse. However, !!!!!!!!!! 2 days ago, I had a facet joint nerve block on S1, S2, and S3 and cluneal nerve. My PM Dr did it & Now I have 80% reduced pain in a area across my lumbar!!! I don't want to jinx myself so I'll stop here. I'd just like to know or I wish the doctors would have done this before my surgery, I could go on & on. My incisions are healing, I've not had a problem with them, all 13.
