    Hi, I saw Dr. Rahal about a week ago, and I was having difficulty with pain. And he said it wasn't anything to do with what they did. They operated above it. It wasn't the same area. This was my SI joint on my sciatica and all this. But bottom line, he asked me if I could, did I forget the pain I had before the surgery? And I said, it's kind of hard to remember. because I'm in pain anyways. And he said, why, do you have trouble with your memory? I thought that was disrespectful. And I said, no. I said, it's just that this pain was with the other pain, so I really couldn't tell, I guess. And I really felt kind of not respected that way. And I was surprised, because I didn't see him as that kind of guy. And so I ended up, and he said, well, let's have you do physical therapy, and then We'll see you in three months and you can see [redacted].
