Oh Michele, that really stinks. I'm sorry the doctor was such a butthole to you. You obviously realized you deserve much better than that, and I'm glad you got in touch with the hospital about the "care" he provided you with.
I'm also really glad you got the go-ahead on trying to get pregnant. I actually have something positive to share about that. Shortly after my cousin got married at 22, she had a bookcase fall on her leg at work. It basically destroyed her knee and she had to have BIG surgery (no little endoscopic incisions -- a big fankenstein scar!). Anyway she was on antibiotics, and knew to use a backup method of b/c while she was on them. She and her husband were both 22 and NOT trying to get pregnant. Well after the antibiotics she was still on several pain medications, anti-inflammtories, and anti-infectives. Well ... something must have contradicted her pill, because she got pregnant! The doctor explained that if a medication doesn't have any known contraindications, it doesn't mean that it's been tested for everything! Anyway you can imagine her panic at barely even being able to walk around, and finding out she was pregnant. Well it turned out that the steady increase in her weight was EXACTLY what her knee needed to continue healing and rebuilding its strength. The doctor told her that being pregnant was actually GOOD for her recovery. Her daughter Abby was born in July 01, and the figured they'd just keep going since they already had one. Maddy, daughter number two, was born August 03. They claim they are "done" now, and my cousin has started graduate school for nursing, but we'll see!
Anyway so I hope you will heal quickly, and I hope you have the same good fortune that my cousin had.
We're all rooting for you!
