I have been back home this summer helping my mom recover from her knee replacement. She has come a long way in the 3 weeks since her surgery. Today we went to the gym and she got on the recumbent bike and did her exercises great and even did quite a bit of walking. Well on Monday she went for her check up and the doc said she was doing great and was at the "top of her class".
Today I get home from the gym to find my mom crying uncontrollably!!! The physicians assistant called and said that the Polyetheline between the femur and tibia has moved and that they are going to have to go back in for another surgery.
She is doing much better like I said...i am hoping that they read the X-Ray wrong!!! I don't know what to do now though...should she go for a second opinion???...do we have a lawsuit here?...i was pissed that the doctor didn't even call to tell my mom and he had his assistant tell her this crap. She was having such a great productive day and now she has to cry herself to sleep and get up to get driven 2 1/2 hours to deal with this tomorrow.
Any help or suggestions???
