IR: Aftershock

So my surgery finally happened and it seems like it went well. My first night home though was kind of rough as I was going through nausea and dizzy spells. I was handling the pain better than that.

The doc is still saying that I may have a torn ligament, which will require a different surgery. He says that this injury is pre-existing because doesn't believe it could have happened with me just walking and making a slight turn. So, he says that workers comp will not go for it, meaning they won't cover it. He wasn't very nice to us when stating this. We believe he has some major resentment towards worker comp patients.

I have my Post Op appointment tomorrow with him and all we basically need to know is what else is really wrong and what steps I need to take to get things right.

My experience at the hospital was great, but my surgeon's attitude was terrible. We shall see what else we need to do and move on.

  1. I'm glad you made it through relatively unscathed. Gimme the surgeon's name and I'll kick him in the nards for you if you wish. Rude doctors suck arse!
