Sue, tThat's what I'm going to do. After another week or two (max), I'm marching myself back in there and telling him I want the surgery. I have confidence in him as a surgeon - and apparently, he's done alot of LIS's, with no incontinence problems. --- However, you'd think that after I've already gone through this for 3 months - doing everything I possibly can to help my healing process - that my crs would not just send me off again, with Balneol! I think that HE was thinking that the nitro/lido - the lidocaine part of that ointment - had burned me.
I don't know. I'm just so darned sick of the whole mess - but I don't intend to let this go on too much longer. I'll follow his instructions - but if I don't REALLY, REALLY improve fairly soon, I'll have to take the next step.
