I don't have as much hope as I did before the 1st surgery. That was only in May and I feel worse now. After the first one, he put me on not even a 1/3 of the pain meds I'm on now. It was a very uncomfortable hospital stay, I had to beg for pain meds and still told I have to wait.
Somehow, though, I do still have some faith in him. This will be my 12th abdominal surgery. My regular doctor told me after this one, he will help push for disability. Dr. Gerhart said the 1st surgery was so horrendous that he isn't surprised I will have some come back. I leave early Monday am. I will try to get on the internet in the hotel and let you all know the outcome. The hotel, I have to say was extremely hospitable to me. This time, they are even making an assortment of jello for my surgery prep. Sorry to vent so much, just very nervous.
Thanks and God Bless to all sufferers, Love, Tracey
