    Everyone was very helpful, especially the assistant, and very kind. So was the doctor as well. However, I didn't feel like the doctor was as thorough in finding the problem. Maybe because he's a knee surgeon and I don't need surgery yet, but I'm having problems with my knee. So I still have the problem, but I did get the shot. So yeah, I think that I took several x-rays and I only saw one that he showed me. So I'd like to have seen the side x-rays as well. But other than that, yeah, I think the problem was it wasn't a good match because the person was a knee surgeon and I didn't need surgery. So I'm still trying to figure out why my knee locks. And maybe there's another doctor I can go to.

    Yes, I was very well pleased. Dr. Shirley was excellent and my stitches were beautiful. I went back to Dr. Shirley and he checked him and he took the bandage off and it still looks very, very good. I went to disability over to Masonic Villages and spent quite many, many weeks there and I am home now. I came home on Saturday and everything looks good. The stitches look good and also I had an elbow I fell and that was sore. I had open cuts and then my shin bone had open cuts and they're healing very well. So I'm very, very thankful that everything turned out all right.

And I like him. He's very confident in what he says. He strongly stands by his words. You can see it in his voice when he talking to you. And that's what I like. Someone is strong in their confidence in making a person feel better. And that's what he's going to do. He told me he's going to make me feel better. And I'll be waiting for this day to come.
