This had to be a really tough thing to go through! I'm glad you're better, and your DS was corrected.
And I thought I had it bad trying to "school" my health care providers!
Nevertheless, glad you got everything taken care of. Now....
Prepare to be amazed!

Holy smokes Ginger!! I remember chatting with you back in 2009 when I was having my DS (I think you ended up having to get knee surgery too at that time if I am remembering correctly), and I was so happy that you were getting your revision surgery. I had no idea you were going through all of this. Thank goodness you advocated for yourself. You are awesome and I am so grateful that Dr. Rabkin figured out what was wrong! Holy moly...a fistula! No wonder you were gaining instead of losing. I am super excited for you and can't wait to hear about your success with your new and improved DS. (((hugs)))

Thanks Felicia,
Yes, that's me alright. The knee surgery was a beast. I tore the other up knee too, but it was just a meniscal tear. Was more ammo for insurance to help me fix me up with a proper DS. I am already losing, can't wait to get weighed this week.
