Call your library, Erin. There are books that have background about doctors- or there were. Not sure if it will get you any more than you know, but it is worth a phone call

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Just popping to amuse you with this article on fan fiction. Going against tradition, DO read the comments - they're better than the article.

Finally getting my new leg braces today. Hoping they fit well.

Todd, that was funny even for a non-reader of the fan fiction.
Poor bear! That is quite the accomplishment.
Yay for mobility without cracking braces! Can't be soon enough I am sure.
I have no advice on finding a good surgeon. Usually the people who work with them know best. A plan to go forward is a good thing. You need to get this behind you.
I went for my follow up today. All good. They don't want to see me for 6 months. The only interesting thing was that they had done some gene study thing, which although was not surprising was useful. The one thing that it stressed was my inability to take most pain killers, as in I can't tolerate them and will easily overdose and possibly die. Now I already had figured out in life that I couldn't tolerate them as they make me sick. They don't work either which makes them all that more something to avoid. They had a long list of stuff I couldn't take, but I didn't see anything listed I could. Note to self, avoid pain.

Erin, here's a site [link] that lets you filter by board certified, etc., and has reviews.

Erin, sometimes local newspapers or magazines do best doctor issues. Good luck.
I have the new braces, but I have to practice walking in them at home for the next week or so before I can wear them out and about without falling. It's like walking on new feet.
Mom and I are out together. We're treating ourselves to Panera now that the hard stuff is over.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Another non-reader of fanfic that enjoyed the linked article and comments. Especially when the author jumped in, I guess to defend himself.
