Appt with surgeon

Postby beach sunrise » Wed Jul 08, 2020 3:13 pm

Had appt with plastic surgeon today. He has such a calming nature about him. He went over my ct scan with me from his point of view and also inflammation markers. He wants me to take 600-800mg Advil every 8 hrs as needed and touch base with him in 2 wks.
Another reason I like him is he reminds me of Elvis and has beautiful thick black hair :)

I think I am missing something here. Why is a "plastic surgeon" looking at your ct scan? Is this an issue that is cancer related or something else?

I wish you lots of luck thought,

He put me back together after APR surgery. He is still very involved with my recovery and extended my restrictions today for another 4 months. He thinks maybe I am at risk for a hernia (NOOOO, please NOOO). He reviews my scans and bloodwork.
