I believe I put her neurologist when it asked that and if you don't I would've but down his primary care physician hope this helps
Toni, you are amazing.
I am his caregiver at home. Will his bowel control return? It has been a year, since he had surgery for diverticulis.( He had a AAA repair and a hernia repair after the diverticulitis) he does not understand what he has gone through. Will he regain control of his bowels?
