Yes, I saw the medical assistant today and she took the remains of the old bandage off (it was peeling) and put on strips. When I asked her how it happened, she offered no answer. I get really tired of people sometimes and so I hope I don't see the person that did the wrong thing when I go back again. I was reading a book written by a doctor about his training (very interesting) and he wrote that when they were in residency, they would take classes, and one class was by a lawyer who told them, "Never admit a mistake." (I'll bet.) While I respect (to a degree) the profession, and I go to doctors, yes -- they aren't all the same.

Hello y'all again. I've been so horribly busy and/or tired. I'm not exercising like I should be, but I do try and walk and do a few leg stretches. I'm going to the surgeon for the 6-week aftermath visit, let's see what he says. Who knows? First time I'm seeing him since the operation. He's a good surgeon, the office is good, BUT -- he's so busy. Yesterday I called to have the time pushed up, they accommodated me because my husband is sick (I think it's dementia plus not being willing to make changes in his diet, I'm always worried about him) and I'm often tired and pushed down emotionally. But we keep trying, I read the Bible and work on having faith and listening to God (by that I mean obeying as much as possible). Anyway, just to let you know my hip seems to be improving, I'm usually walking with a walker, sometimes not too often with a cane, my knee is the thing that is giving me trouble, but I'll let him tell me what's happening. Thanks for all your attention!

@cindiwass I understand why a lawyer would tell them that. For me, a doctor not showing his humanity in the fact that something may have been done differently would make me more likely to want litigation.... but that's just me. Everyone makes mistakes. If you think of the name of that book, please share it. I'd be interested to read it and get most of my books cheaply through HalfPrice Books or Thrift Books.
