It's fantastic when you get someone like that, it's so rare to be able to geek out over the medical stuff and not scare anyone lol
Glad you are healing well, chronic pain is such a bundle of sticks. I hope something is found and works well to keep you comfortable
How goes the healing? The body is wild, a few weeks back I removed a dressing from a foot with 2 amputated toes, tendons, muscle, fat tissue. The whole lot was right before my face, it was amazing. Two weeks later they were walking out the door to go home, with no issues at all
I'm so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I'm forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it's OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is "normal" without even realising how bad things have gotten.
