Between TOCA and the Mayo clinic I'm about to just rip my skin off my flesh. I have genu varus on my left knee which gives me a bowed leg, I use to have it on my right but that was taken care of. I felt that since I'm starting to have arthritic pain I'd better have a final surgery. I go in June 23rd I was having some type of doubt's because Steen Johnson is not really a knee specialist (that's whom they gave me. He's more of a shoulder surgeon) and I was right because he basically couldn't do anything for me, but recommended me to Dr. yaggobucci, and needed to get an MRI first. So I got my MRI and had to drive all the way to the Phoenix location. I got that, got scheduled to see yaggobucci and and I told myself this is it, I finally get my surgery scheduled... Gee was I wrong again.. Apparently their was another X-ray I needed to get from the phoenix location they never told me about. So yagobucci said in order for him to be sure what operation I need I had to get that. So I had to drive all the way back to phoenix get the Xray he needed which I did (so I thought....) Yagobucci sent me to mayo clinic which is all the way in Scottsdale (i live in peoria) and from their Dr. Chabbra told me that they gave me the incorrect X-Ray (like what the heck? There were instructions on the paper of what to take!!!) And I also needed at CT scan. So I got those both in one day, and had TOCA send the MRI to Mayo. Mayo says chabbra will contact me in a week after he talks with his team on what he wants to do... Its been a week and nothing. I called them just to make sure they had everything needed from me, and then they said they needed the MRI from TOCA, yet they didn't realize they've actually had the MRI for the last week. So another week wasted. I've been trying to get surgery scheduled for a month now because its already late July now and I can't get a surgery scheduled. This is ridiculous. I never had to go to the doctors office back and forth so many times and have no solution. When I was 15 (which was only a few years ago) all it took was one visit and it was a go. These doctors need to understand I don't have a lot of time. I'm a 20 year old college student, majoring in culinary courses and I needed to know now what surgery I need because since this a reconstructive surgery, I can't just go back to my normal life after I wake up. Osteotomies (which is generally needed to cure genu varum) can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks just to walk again, my tuition is due now and I don't want to pay for a class I'm not sure I can take, but I've been played for the last month so I don't know what to do. I can't exactly do culinary arts in crutches btw, I thought I would have been in the operating room by now, so by then I will be back on my feet or at least a week or 2 way from normality...Turning 21 soon I thought this would be the perfect time to get rid of this problem, but TOCA and Mayo clinic took too much time energy and gas from car. I don't recommend either.
