You hit the nail on the head... when the doctors office closes or just doesnt quite "get it", our forum steps up and lends a hand with spot on advice and support.
Hang in there, things really will get better in time. Im very sorry it takes so long. Ive been there and know how much recovery from this type of surgery stinks.
