Default Operation schedule

soreneck and I will be having our op on the same day with Dr Beirdstedt. I leave Australia tomorrow, and am really looking forward to it. Hope to keep the forum posted on the progress.

For those new comers thinking about surgery and curious on possible time frames of the process. (P.S I am going on my own with no support person due to short notice).

The Schedule for me at this point for 2 level ADR (and removal of spurs/osteophytes) is:

5th Nov - 1 day in the hotel Bergedick,
6th Nov - See the Doctor the next day and get admitted to the hospital.
7th Nov - Operation.
8th - 12th Nov - Hospital stay
12th - 19th Nov - Medicos
Then home (all going well and of course the Doctor will review what is to be done once he is inside the crime scene )
