So Today is Tuesday. Three more days before my surgery is to be performed. Please God …guide the surgeon’s hands. Let them take their time, have control, but mostly really care…
There’s a disconnect so many times between the doctor and patient. My orthopedic doctor that I had for my Scoliosis didn’t really “care”. I was just another number in a line of many terrified spectacles. Scoliosis was in its learning phase at that time. I remember taking off the stockinette that I wore underneath my brace. The bruises had gotten so bad, consisting of dark blue pale yellow markings – almost like a rainbow. “Those will lessen and dissipate ” claimed the doctor… Like it was no big deal. I was tired of sweating, smelling, and being in excruciating pain from the pressure points. Care? He hardly had that in his vocabulary. It was just another Tuesday to him.
