You know those complications the surgeon mentions...
I am in tears reading your post!
I am so glad that you are on the mend now and so sorry you had to go through that. You are very strong and brave. I can't imagine what that was like.
Best of luck to you from here onwards!

Wow Sherri! Thank god you are ok now...you must have been terrified. Kudos to your doctor for taking the time to check on you again and again and shame on those nurses who thought they could over rule him. I am so glad you are on the road to recovery. I hope the rest of it goes smoothly for you! All the best!!
p.s. I am glad I read this after my surgery and not before lol
Oh my gosh, Sherri, what an ordeal for you. I'm sorry that things started off with so much pain and fear. I'm glad your doctor took things seriously and was able to fix you in time.
I hope that from now on, your recovery goes much more smoothly!
