Boy, you've really earned your chance for the right treatment; I know you've suffered a long time. I hope all goes well in NYC. As I write this, I imagine you are probably just getting "zipped up" from your surgery.
May a smooth, pain-free recovery await you... :) |

Finally Home!
Thank you everyone for your warm wishes. I really means a lot to me!
Well, I'm finally home after spending 6 days in the hospital. It was a bit more than I expected & I had some pretty scary moments. I found out the morning of my surgery that it was going to be a bit more complicated that originally thought. Dr, Bitan & I were not able to discuss fully before the surgery how things would change with the fusion surgery. He apologized & said that he felt that for the best possible outcome for me that he would have to also do a posterior approach with the anterior so he could put 2 screws through the back to make sure that the instrumentation was as solid as could be. I told him I wasn't happy about the prospect of 2 additional incisions but if this is what he felt was best, then lets do it. The surgery was probably about 6 1/2 hours long. I was in an IMMENSE amount of pain which they had trouble controlling. We had some scary moments with my blood pressure & potassium levels being extremely low along with a tachycardic heart. At 1 point I was up to 150 bpm. I was unaware of any possible heart condition, so now I have to follow up with my PCD to see what's going on. I'll be setting up a thread in post-surgical outcomes shortly. I'm kinda pooped at the moment & I should really get off my duff & walk for 20 minutes. I'll pop on when I can. Thank you everyone again for all of your help! |
