How do you feel about falling?

@ammaw52 Yes, because of Hippa, your doctor would have to make the effort to talk to someone who's had the surgery and see if they would be willing to talk to you. And that is a big ask in this era of busy, busy doctors, but maybe worth a try. I'm so sorry that your family hasn't been more supportive. I can see how this might be heart breaking and cause you to feel scared and lonely. If you could get a message to your doctor explaining your situation, perhaps s/he would be more willing to make an effort. It doesn't hurt to ask. But, if you don't ask, you'll never know. 💜

You are so kind. The Dr. That had to turn me over to this Dr because thus is not his field, I could have ask him anything. I'd known him for years. But this Dr is so reserved, very busy. Ive seen him 3 times and 1 call so I don't know him. But I've got to trust something . Either I have it done or I don't. My husband gets around pretty slowly. Has had cancer a few times. Has some dementia. And our daughter is so overwhelmed it's pitiful. Kids are different today. You couldn't keep me away from my mom and Dad. I was there til the end. But I'm a caregiver. That's me. My son lives a ways but will come if I ask. I'm just so down I don't want to do anything. My life has definitely changed. Than you for your kindness.
