My doctor appt today was a success in my eyes. Even though he told me there was nothing he could do for me being that he is an OBGYN, and I have no female parts left, it was still a success to me because he was compassionate and he listened to me.
So now my next step is to go back to my primary doctor and tell him that the OBGYN said there is nothing he can do for me. Then i think he is referring me to a surgeon and/or a specialist. Then if they say there is nothing they can do for me, then possibly pain management and disability.
Going to be gone for acouple of days from here though. Any outings have me laid up for a few days as many of you know
