Sharlee, You are doing nothing wrong by getting a second opinion though I understand worrying that you will offend your doc because I worried about that too both times when I went to get one.

I do have one request of you and that is that you make some paragraphs in your posts, broken up by a blank line, when they are as long as that last one so they are a little easier to read. I had a very time reading all of that without any line breaks. But don't worry about "rambling", I can understand your worry and this is where you *should* be coming with it.

I'm glad you're going for the second opinion and again, don't worry about how your doctor will react. Ultimately this is about you taking care of yourself and any good doctor will understand that.
