Had my follow-up with neurologist this morning and he said that he's pretty sure I had a TIA because of speech issues I was having. Said all the tests have been run except he wanted another test some kind of echo of the heart, but not the standard old echocardiogram, nurse said it was more involved. They haven't got it scheduled yet.
Then when I got home I got a call from the urologist surgeon's APRN. She said you have an appointment at 4:20 this afternoon, I said I know. She said I understand you have questions can't we just answer them over the phone, I said no I have lots of questions about the pathology report and about incontinence issues and not being able to pee when I know my bladder is full. She tried to get me to talk over the phone instead of coming in at 4:20 p.m.. I said I want a face to face and talk to surgeon , then she said well can you come in early I said well what about 4:00 she said that would work. I got to tell you that call from the surgeons office really pissed me off. He hasn't seen me in person since the April 30th prostatectomy and the May 1st emergency surgery to stop atrial bleeding. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right decision and also wonder if it wasn't his screw up that caused the atrial bleeding that I lost so much blood from and had to have emergency 2am surgery? I still feel weak lightheaded.

@diverjer It sounds like you are justified in not trusting or having confidence in that surgeon. He doesn't seem concerned enough about your welfare. Can you quietly look for a consult with someone else, or somehow ease him off your case?
