No actually he is a air force vet and has been seeing patients for 25+
years most of his patients I've talk to have nothing but positive things
to say about him. As far as I know I am only allowed to see military
drs but my extendend family was or is military and have told me I am
allowed a 2nd opinion and I've seen 3 drs the last was the one that
finally realized what was going on. Maybe I can ask my healthcare
provider and ask them if I can see a non military dr. My mother is
actually coming with me to my next appointment, which is suppost to be a
pre-opp for surgury to ask the questions I haven't been able to because
I've been in total shock and extreme pain. Yes it is difficult taking
care of my boys but I do what I can even if I just sit on the couch with
them, sometimes my husband is able to help but he works nights so that
isn't very often, he is very supportive and does what he can and just
wants my pain to stop as he hates seeing me like this (probably like
most of your husbands as well). Thank you for your kind words and
advise I really appreciate it. And I will keep update for you all.
Everything I've read on this message board has given me some hope and
something to go back to my dr about. Thanks so much!
