Default Still no answer from

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???

Default Update...

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.
