Hey everyone!
My follow up with my scoli surgeon is this Thursday, so any prayers sent my way would be appreciated!
My husband and I have been talking it over for the last month, and he is really starting to see where I'm coming from. He does get very nervous any time I tell him ANY details about the actual surgery, but I think if the situation was reversed, I'd feel the same way. But he did say, if I decide to do it now he'd support me 100% and understand that I'm doing what I think is best for our future and for me.
So, that was a big part of my decision making process, because if he wasn't for it, then there was no way I was going to do it! Now all that remains is this visit with my surgeon on Thursday to discuss the details of the surgery, ie. full fusion, one or two rods, etc.
It's weird b/c in my mind it makes sense to do the surgery now, as my curves are getting worse, and they are already so progressed, but every time i think about going to the hospital and having to go through another recovery I just feel sick to my stomach!!!
Anyway, just thought I'd share. This is quite a journey for me, 3 surgeries under my belt so far, in my 3 years of marriage. Thank God I have a great husband!!!
oh, before I forget! How long did it take you guys from the time the doctor decided to go ahead with the surgery, to when you actually had it? What things did you have to do before (x rays, tests? ) Just wondering!
Thanks!
