I'm so glad you've shared this with us. I was hoping that you were feeling better. It sounds like you're making a good move for you, because even your writing seems more upbeat. It's so important to have a voice and to know that you're being listened to, and it sounds like you are being listened to by this new doctor. I can understand your husband's opinion, but also feel that you definitely need the closure you deserve after the nightmare you've been through. Since you're still nervous about this new surgeon, have you looked into references (talked to his former patients, doctors that might know him, medical associations he's a member of, etc.) at all? I'd do that, just to feel more confident that he's the doctor for you.
Good for you for moving forward. It can be such a scary thing to do.
