Re: Got stitches out!

[Guest guest]

,

I am so glad you got a second opinion. Sometimes we have to get 30 opinions if that is what it takes, so be it. Thank God she took those stitches out I knew 4 weeks was insane. Goes to show you it is great we all can take care of ourselves when we stick together on support sites. I went back for a follow-up visit today with my family practitioner. She really listens to me now, this is sad it takes something so horrific before anyone will take you seriously. I know I went to a lot of doctor's that really did not care what so ever so it don't surprise me your ps is a cracker. Good Luck and Happy Healing's!!!!!1

WOW! . . . It's hard to imagine why a doctor would be so sloppy! I wonder if the nurse put it in your record? No wonder the witch wanted you to come back to HER! I'm so glad you were treated so well by your doctor's office! Regardless, you're on your way to healing! Congradulations on handling everything so well! Rogene

, thank God you had the courage and smarts to get pro-active

with your healing! I am VERY grateful those stitches are out.

Hopefully, you can continue to have a relatively stress-free healing

journey from now on and a very joyous Christmas.

Love you & so proud of you,

Sunny

Glad the stitches are out. I've never heard of stitches staying in

for a month anyway, usually they're out within a week.

thanks all - if it weren't for you telling me your experiences, I

would be walking around with thread in me in come New Years'! I am

SO grateful for this place! I was pretty darn pleased with all of

us when I left the dr's yesterday - felt really validated.

Wow, glad you are not going back to that doctor. I think you just

need to think positively and move forward, as you are doing.

We are all with you.
