I had ankle surgery in Orlando, physical therapy locally, very happy with results.

Four months ago I was having severe abdomen pain, diverticulitis, treated with medication, the pain continued. Early one morning I knew I was going south, I told the husband I needed to go to ER. I was petrified because I heard TV hospital horror stories. I was taken in and evaluated, the next day I had emergency surgery for a perforated colon, I was near deaths door. I needed a colostomy bag also. They saved my life, I was a very sick and was hospitalized for 10 days. The treatment I received at The Village hospital was outstanding, my surgeon very competent. Four weeks ago the same surgeon reversed my colostomy bag. I have my wonderful rear-end back. ( I love her so much). Once again, I was treated well at The Village hospital, there was a few issues, but the husband was my advocate and took it under control.

We have also found an excellent internist. I see her on a regular basis, she's on top of my medical issues.

I wish you the best, please don't give up, there is excellent medical care here. Sometimes it's just tough finding your way.

OH my dear girl. I am so glad to hear this happy ending and many hugs for your ordeal. SO GLAD you are o.k.
