Thanks for the kinds words guys. Its hard for me to answer questions because if I am going to sue I dont know if somehow they can find what I post and use it against me. All I can say is that the lawyer I retained is very interested in this case, and when I told them about how I had the original CT Scan I could tell even over the phone it was big by their reaction.
I have been taking pictures. I have pics right after the surgery, and after the infection. This is me the day they sent me home after the initial surgery, 2 days before the infection. Notice how nice the scar looks in comparison to the huge hole I now have in that was in the 1st post.
Wow, you weren't lying about getting out of shape. I originally believed you, but putting bedore pictures along with your story really emphasizes just how detrimental this has been in your life. You don't even look like the same person and it's obvious that you're not just lazy. There's really nothing you can do, but rest and heal up.
As far as the legal side goes, the last place you want to be caught at is the gym and you can bet your ass that if you sue, the hospitals legal team will be following your every move to see just how much this is negatively affecting your life and it would look really bad if you're at the gym. I can't believe that you have such a nasty wound and the docs are refusing pain management. Unless you went through your meds in a quick amount of time (like a four week script in two weeks), then they should be treating your pain.
Stay as healthy as you can, but if you pursue legal action then be very careful with active public interactions to keep from the opposing legal side building a case against you.
