My Single Mom Life

I received a letter yesterday from my surgeons office telling me to call and reschedule my appointment in November.
I called and they said he had left the practice and by law, they cannot tell you where he moved to.
I called the state medical board and all they could give me was an address.
I tried reverse address look up, it gave me an office number that didn't work.
I was panicking at this point.
I love my surgeon and his whole team! I want to finish this out with the team that started it.
I'm sure the new doctor they wanted to schedule me with is wonderful, but my doc and his staff, are amazing. Great bedside manner, great skills, did things that no other surgeon had done concerning scoliosis. He presented my case to the scoliosis board to review, he wrote a published paper on my case.
I couldn't just stop seeing him and not finish this with him.
I called 411 and gave them his name and addy, it's a new practice, his own office this time, so I wasn't sure he'd be set up to go.
last week he was at the one office, this week, he was gone.
They gave me a number and I called and holy shit! My nurse Cindy answered. I was so happy. I had been trying for an hour to find him.
She said they weren't allowed to call any of their patients and tell them, and they were just hoping that we'd all find him.
She said she was glad I did because my case was one he wanted to keep seeing but by law, he couldn't contact me.
Stupid laws. I want my surgeon, not a new one who wasn't in there with me for 24 & 1/2 hours of surgery. I want the guy and the team who did it to keep seeing me until we close this case out in February or March. 1 year year from date of surgery.

They are going to call me back with an appointment and have me sign a release at the old office to transfer my files and stuff.
I swear, I was near tears trying to find him. You find a good doctor, a really good doctor, one who actually cares, the one who after 19 other surgeons failed to help me or even try to help me, wanted to, knew he could, you just don't walk away from that and start seeing someone new.
