Finally, the DIS is back! I hate when I don't have my DIS! I caught up to all the reading from yesterday, but have to go back and do a lot of posting. Just wanted to get on here and say HI now that it's back.
You were all right about the doctor appointment yesterday...it went very wrong. I'll fill you in on all the gory details in a bit.
OK, here's what happened at the doctors...
Normally, I only see the nurse and she's sweet and they unwrap, measure, clean, take pics and rewrap in the layers with medicine over the open wounds. NOT yesterday....had a new nurse, pulled off the old gauze that was stuck...the nice nurse moistens it and then gently pulls and it comes off easily....then she did all the normal other things and waited for the dr. to come in. Well, he basically did the same thing to the wounds that he did in the operating room but I was awake in his office this time. WHAT excruciating pain as he scraped and picked and pulled and poked. He finished the left leg, the better of the two and moved to the right....shortly after he started I said I had enough...could we continue this another time because I couldn't take any more pain. I was hysterical crying. It felt like a razor digging into my legs....burning, stinging, sharp pains.
The dr. insulted me the entire time calling me a baby and did I think I was in labor the way I was acting....then when I asked to stop he took a two year old hissy fit tantrum and threw me out of his office.
I never got my legs wrapped properly and the wrap fell down by the time I got home, I have nothing on both legs right now coz they won't stay up.
Needless to say, I'm not happy and I will let this doctor know that I have patient rights and I won't allow him to treat me like this. What an idiot!

When I got home I was still hysterical and upset and in great pain and I just went to sleep. That's why you didn't hear back from me last night. Then of course the DIS was down all morning!
That was a awful experience.
Quoting me again...we decided we wanted to renew our vows on our 25th on the Magic or Dreams or one of them...wouldn't it be great if we could all do that cruise together with all of you and celebrate...it's only eight more years...I would love it!

What a nightmare! I would be fuming!
Deb...so sorry to hear about your horrible experience yesterday. As a doctor it angers me horribly to hear about how fellow physicians treat their patients. I would make sure to lodge a complaint against him at the least.
Hope today goes better and you get those legs wrapped and treated the right way!
from the DCL photo of the day, but this was posted....
Guess I better get back to paying bills Deb, I am sitting here feeling so upset for you.
I can't believe a Dr. could be so heartless and you must complain. I hope you get the legs dressed correctly today.

Oh my goodness! Deb, I am shocked, appalled and so sad to hear this! What was he thinking??
