Re: a big deal?

I think so.

Hey, you have a major investment here. Your time, your money, your

trust. Your discomfort. And if you have a problem developing there,

for whatever the reason, it may be dealt with earlier, easier, than

later. Call 'em. Who cares if they are bored with you, don't want to

see you, whatever? You are entitled to their care, and they are

entitled to hear from you that something may be wrong.

If you go, they look, however they may need to do it, and they tell

you there's no problem -- then give it a second think. But it is your

mouth, and those are your nerves.

I think the repair of these troubles is a partnership effort. Your

docs are entitled to your best efforts to cooperate with their

instructions, and you are entitled to their best efforts to give you

the very best results.

Don't settle, unless you're told there's no alternative. And then

think for a while about it, before you do!

You gonna hire somebody to fix your roof, and then not call for a

repair when it leaks because the repairman gets " annoyed " with you?

You think your ortho, or your surgeon, would? H***, No! You ask

nicely for a repair, give someone some time, then start talking

lawyers. (although I am always reluctant to do the latter --

apologies to any lawyers out there.)

But I'll bet they weren't reluctant to get you in their offices. And

I'll also bet they'll do better about finding a solution for you than

you suspect at this moment. They aren't likely to be bad guys. They

may just have office staffs who don't do the best job of making them

accessible.

I'd call the surgeon first...
