@MomofWildChild Not everyone shares a desire to go to doctors, esp when one has experienced things that have ended up “way” off what they “should” have been and then add the fact that “well, your whole life got changed for something another doctor did incorrectly decades ago.” Those plans and dreams you had? Changed for a mistake. Sorry about that. Don’t forget to also add in that most of my issues also aren’t fixed. I just get the “forever” aspect added in with “can’t be fixed.” The advice so far has been to keep doing what I’ve been doing as that has worked out well considering the rest.

I can jump to the “deal with it” phase figuring out how to best do so and mentally do better. In my mind there’s always tomorrow to see if it can be fixed IF it reaches a stage that tips the scale. “Maybe” it can happen vs “sorry, can’t fix it” is better for ME personally - mentally.

It’s a risk heading to a doctor. Is it fixable or not? IME (personal experience), I don’t have good odds with that risk and at least at the moment getting more official “live with it” news (or worse if it happened to be bad) wouldn’t sit well on my mind. That much I know. I’m still dealing with the more recent “live with it” adjustment from something that seemed to be incredibly obvious and an easy fix.

YMMV - humans are different.
