As you've seen, it is hard to be your own advocate while trying to heal. If you don't get responses today, ask to speak to the Medical Director and explain your problem. <br /><br />I love your spunk!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187611054293001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-49522755315216644082018-08-14T11:44:02.394-04:002018-08-14T11:44:02.394-04:00Especially with a recent incision.

I have little use for members of the medical field (on all levels) as they a) apparently don't have time to listen to patients; b) apparently don't have any interest in listening to patients, time or not; c) seem to think they know more about you and your body than you do.

Can you talk to your regular physio people to get their opinion? There's more than one way to do things sometimes.<br /><br />Other than that, I just want you to know how much I admire your spunk. I have a bit of an idea (from observation) how hard this is to resolve. My dad went through similar things but he had paralysis to complicate everything. My mother had a long recuperation after a serious car accident years ago and it took six weeks in hospital and a year of therapy to restore her shattered leg and elbow to functional but not complete use. Patience is as important as spunk. Each in the right measure. Don't push it too hard and injure something else.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-10925944058282827482018-08-13T16:49:57.585-04:002018-08-13T16:49:57.585-04:00Keep yelling, Joanne.
