Surgeon Testimonial

Randal Baker
My fist impression of Dr. Baker was that he was very nice. He answered all my questions and was very straight-forward and honest. He is a very capable doctor. I loved everyone at MMPC. They were all kind and supportive and enthusiastic.

He did discuss the risks of surgery but told me I'd be an ideal candidate. He has a very structured aftercare program. I would rate him 10 out of 10.

Sclero completed
posted on 5/24/07 5:41 pm
I went to MMPC today at 8:45am.  Had the sclero at 10am.  Dr. Baker asked me if I was exercising and I had to say NO.  I was so ashamed to admit that.  Here I was in my hospital gown, IV, blood pressure cup on, oxygen sensor, and all these machines and nurses and I have to say NO.  How pathetic is that?  Hopefully I will remember that moment and use it to motivate myself to get moving.  I have been active lately but not like I need to be.  I dug a 30 foot trench and have been carting around dirt, mulch, and pea gravel.  Anyway, back to the sclero, I was uncomfortable when I "woke up".  Maybe a 4 out of 10.  They gave me a scrip for lortab which I have been taking every 4 hours (4 tsp).  I had a couple protein shakes today and a few bites of ham.  I don't want to stress my little area out so I'm going to take it easy.  Get back to the basics.  Slow down, chew more, limit snacks, eat protein first, drink water and get some exercise.

I have to make a followup appt for 6 weeks so I will be updating again to say how I'm doing.
