  Well' got the answer I was not looking for? My Doctor whom gained my trust had his P.A. Dismiss me as a patient and acknowledged this is beyond the surgical talents of my Surgeon! I was given a referral to another specialist working with the hinged knee replacement revision procedures! At a loss for words as to why after two years my Surgeon would not step in the room today to say he tried or why he felt after a year to not do a personal follow up on his knee replacement revision he performed! 


 yet he sent his P.A. instead! How much  I believed in my surgeon to help better my life and just ended up letting my guard down and my emotions exposed to be hurt deeply today! The happy pills never stopped the constant crying and feeling of wanting to vomit, while asking  the P.A. how could they leave me like this? 


I had that feeling another doctor was giving up on me , yet Alone again in my despair and anguish i will always be crawling out of the trenches to only be dragged back down and forgotton!  Think I will go fishing and contemplate 'Life'  and my self worth!

I would be celebrating the surgien's admission. I am sure it's not easy to admit that you don't know it all, or that a subject in your field is beyond you to understand. But it's better for you that he didn't choose to cobble through it. You deserve someone confident in their abilities where your life and mobility are concerned.

I will give him a ding for sending the admission of inability,or lack of expertise through the PA. But his ego has already been deflated.

Take the referral to the new specialist and see what he thinks. They are there for a specialized purpose, and some are better than others., Take the fear and anguish to your therapist, that's what their purpose is....and some are better than others.

Fishing is a good sedative for whatever ails you. Doesn't fix anything, but it's a very meditative distraction.

We're here for you, whichever way this drama plays out. You are not alone.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
