A little background info....

I have been dealing with medical issues regarding my reproduction capability for the last three and a half years after a very bad miscarriage situation. As I was working through a difficult period one day I realized that more and more people and characters around me seem to be dealing with similar circumstances. TV shows, movies, neighbors and friends are struggling because they cannot or may not have children. This is a place to express my feelings about my situation and hopefully help someone else express theirs.

I may not know what other mothers know, but I am a mother without my child and I do what I can to cope.

Yea yea

In pain again today but I am told its 'good pain.'  Bite me.  Good pain is still pain and when I cannot concentrate at work or do the things I planned on it still hinders me.

Well I spoke to my doc and am especially mad today.  Since we have formally filed suit I can let you in on what has been going on since November.  A little background info first though.
When I was initially pregnant I went to my obgyn and  well the day my husband TB and I went together to hear a heart beat for the first time was the day she told me my fetus had died and I would have to have surgery.  We scheduled a D&C for the next day.  That night I had a natural miscarriage at home and expelled my uterine contents.  When I talked with my doctor the next day to ask about the D&C she told me that since it already happened naturally and I was so far along a D&C was not necessary.  So I didn't do it.  I was 4 1/2 months along and it is not the norm to have that procedure after a miscarriage at that late stage in a pregnancy.
When I started having pain and other complications I started seeing a specialist, Dr. Rodriguez, whom I love.  He has helped me for the past 3 years go through some tough stuff and worked hard to give me hope even when I am being cynical.  Things went from bad to worst and it took a year to find the infection I had and another year or more to kill it.  Now my uterus is 93% scar tissue from all of the damage and never fully contracted to its usual size so it is kind of like a big beach ball with no air in my body, flat and deflated.  About a year ago when we were trying to cure the infection we requested my records from the first doctor, she would never give them to us.  We finally had to subpoena them from her a few months ago and the shock I had when we finally got them you wouldn't believe.  My medical records had been forged.  To be fair, it is alleged at this time since we have only filed against them but we have an analyst who can show that it was done so I'm gonna go with forged until I am proven otherwise.  There are test results that have been changed on one report and a document stating I was choosing not to have a D&C procedure even though the doctor wanted me to and it was my name at the bottom in someone else's handwriting.  Somebody in that office forged my signature.  I sign literally a dozen letters every single day at work, I know what my signature looks like and that loopy feminine signature was not mine.  So yea, I am working on suing them for part of my medical bills and trying to get their license revoked.  A medical analyst says that if we had the correct records when we first asked for them we could have prevented up to 40% of my medical problems.  I could have been better 40% faster, I could have been in 40% less pain.  I could just kill someone for doing that to me.  My life has been upside down for 3 years and some of it could have been prevented.  Well, onward to court I suppose.
