My trip to the Dartmouth Medical Center did not turn out as well as I’d hoped. My meeting with the surgeon was disappointing. I had hoped that a quick surgery could have fixed my issue. As it turns out the surgeon thought I’d be stuck with an open weeping wound that would be prone to infection.
Long story short I’m now waiting for appointments with other experts.
Long story even shorter: this is going to take some time.
Once again I’m in a waiting period for the next steps.
On the bright side, the huge lump is not cancer, so that’s good. Cancer among firefighters is a common issue so I’m counting my blessings.

Better the Dr. told you the truth than cut you THEN tell you you're essentially a non-healer.
ReplyDeleteI forget if you mentioned diabetes or not?
My beloved has issues no surgeon will touch so I understand.
