Another Medicaid question
Hi Angela,
I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and feel GREAT! No complications and minimal pain. (I am a BIG BABY about pain too...zero pain tolerance) Dr. Drinkwater is the BEST! (completely biased opinion of course) Jen is his program coordinator and she is an angel. I asked her questions on a daily basis and she always had time to answer them.
As for the support groups, you are encouraged to go to as many as you can but they do require a certain amount. They are great for support. You can hear from pre-ops and post-ops...there is always a great blend of both at the meetings.
I have to say, from hearing from different people that have had this surgery, even though Dr. Drinkwater's program may take a little longer to have surgery, his is the most thorough in the area and you are COMPLETELY prepared for this surgery by the time you have it. I was actually excited the morning they wheeled me in to surgery.
Please let me know if you have any questions...I'd LOVE to help you along your way.
All the best,
Judy
