Sharlee - two things: First of all, where your health is concerned, don't ever worry about a doctor's "hurt feelings" . A second opinion is something any good doctor should welcome, especially where there is even the slightest doubt in your mind about any decision you are having to make. If you were getting your car repaired, wouldn't you want a couple of estimates about what needs to be done? So get that 2nd opinion . . .

Secondly - I know about husbands who don't seem able to express their feelings or talk about them. I had one of those, and after several years of marriage I asked him one day why he never said "I love you". His reply was, "I told you the day we got married - don't you remember??"
