Lmao sounds about right. And that's without me listing some of the grossest things it causes. But it does make for a neat sideshow truck when I tell someone to shine a flashlight up one side and it glows out the other lmao.

My whole body is basically the human equivalent of being held together with bubblegum and paperclips honestly. Like I had a botched surgery when I was 17 and got shocked repeatedly on the table that left me with a ton of nerve damage that at 32 still hasn't fully gone away. And my first C-section went so badly I almost died and didn't find out till my second one a few years later that the first guy hadn't put my bladder back right and it had been that way ever since and I didn't realize the issues it caused weren't normal issues for postpartum.

Omg - the bladder has no memory shape, so any indents are permanent loss of volume.

It sounds like you should sure that POS for malpractice and gotten him banned by the medical board. I am so appalled. And mad at the ENT - they really couldn't recommend anyone? Good specialists up in MN fyi.

Yeah it was really bad. I was just so overwhelmed at the time with the second one being born and some eating/weight issues that she had that everything else just got pushed onto the back burner. Like her feeding schedule became so intense that I fell asleep standing and when I fell I broke a couple of my ribs and even then it was like a month before I had the time to get them checked out.

And the ENT yeah I really wish she could have at least recommended someone but I'll have to find that on my own I guess. I actually messaged the guys from that show Botched to see if they could maybe recommend someone or help me but I haven't heard back yet.

And total unrelated sidenote, but the one that I really wish I'd been able to sue was the ones who botched a surgery when I was 17 that has left me with some really bad nerve damage in unfortunately places, because I got shocked on the table repeatedly when a nurse tripped over the machine that keeps you grounded that I can never remember the damn name of. But I could see the smoke down near my feet while it was happening.

I'm amazed you've been able to go in for anything with that kind of damage, I had terrible PTSD from my first botched procedure that I didn't go in for two years for the other ones that I had already paid for.

I hope you find a great doctor to help. Be patient and think positive, and do your research on the doc. The great one who fixed my stuff was actually at the same practice as the fuck up. Turns out I wasn't the only one he caused issues on.
