FWIW Evan, I am in medical limbo myself dealing with chronic back pain needing that ruptured disc surgery. Lots of time has passed already because of the DVT in my leg. By the time all this passes, I will probably need another MRI.ESquared wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 7:37 pmYep, even though mine is outpatient, there's still general anesthesia involved, so there's intubation/respirator action.
Sent a message through the "Patient Portal" at my Ortho office this afternoon, just reminding them that I'm out here and it's been a couple of weeks since someone there said I'd get an update within the "next week to 10 days" (Nudge-Nudge!!).
There's a fine line between being the respectful squeaky wheel and a pain in the neck. I'm trying to remain the former...
2019 sucked, and 2020 ain't look'n much better....such is life I guess. My family is in bad shape period. Dad in hospital with COVID and just today, my sister ( who is diabetic ) was admitted today because of chest pain, and shortness of breath. Close to heart attack status. Tomorrow's tests will determine if she is going to need a stint or not.
Sorry for all the doom and gloom.
Hope you are successfully coping. Best wishes to you!
