1 year ago today I walked into Christie Clinic praying that the next surgeon I met would be the one that would perform my surgery. After meeting several, and not feeling good about any of them, I was hopeful that he might be the one. I pulled his info sheet from the wall of surgeons as I waited in the waiting room. Dr. Jones. He was in the military and while learning to do basic medical treatments for his fellow soldiers, he realized he wanted to be a doctor. THAT was a story I could get behind. I waited in the exam room and in he walked, this super tall, sharply dressed, black guy and the I said the first thing I thought of, Hi Doc, Im Michelle, you look like Scottie Pippen. Oh man, the 96 Bulls He laughed. He looked at my situation and told me to sit up. He said, Yup, that looks like it really hurts. Heres what were gonna do... He explained the options to me. I was terrified. He told me what he thought was my best option, Youll be on your tummy for several weeks after this though SEVERAL WEEKS! You gotta be kidding me! He said, Youve got a gangle of scar tissue and scars from your stitches, how many times do you want this done wrong? Ha, Okay. Lets do it. We bantered back and forth every time we saw each other. After the surgery Id come in and whine and complain about how much it hurt, and how I NEEDED to get out of my moms house and back into my house and be able to SHOWER like a normal person. After days of drama he said, My little Scarlett, thats your new name. So dramatic. Youre my little Scarlett OHara. Bahaha. Man, I really picked a good one. If you ever need a general surgeon, call my friend Dr. Jones. Hes a real life hero. Thank you for taking away my pain, Doc.
