I met with the surgeon about my hip and failed injection. He was brusk ( as all orthopds are) and gave me two brochures, one for the resurfacing (which he said wouldn't be a good idea) and a total hip (which recommends) I was told to read the brochures and pick a procedure and to call the scheduler to book it (why don't I do the surgery myself as well?).
I know that ortho's are assholes. But I couldn't have felt less heard or cared for. I left in tears. Cried all the way the home. The thought of this major surgery and rehab is overwhelming. Who will help me? Who will be in the hospital with me? I was with Chris for all of his surgeries, spent every hospital night with him in his room. What do I get? nothing. a nursing home probably. Wonderful.
