I see that my post came back to the fore. Yesterday was 3 weeks out for me on a 2 level 360 fusion. I'm still bitter about UHC. FYI, a 2 level fusion is a brutal surgery. Recovery for this is a slow process. Dr. Blumenthal did the fusion. Great doc but the rest of the experience, hospital, some nurses, pain management was the pits. Had one nurse who apparently didn't realize that a cather has another end besides the one that is attached to the bag or she had some issues with men. I thought she was going to pull my bladder out. Oh and she was the one that removed the thing too. I was bleeding after she was done with me. Left the hospital with a prescription for the same level of pain drug I had been taking for the previous year before the surgery. Needless to say that was no help.
