Hi Everyone!
I have been on and off here for almost 2 years now. I was going to have this surgery back then, but my health insurance at that time did not cover me. Now, I have the PCIP insurance launched by President Obama for people like me with no insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions. This health plan covers my surgeries, yes, 2, anterior and posterior.
My Dr. is Dr. Pashman and I am schedule for December 9th and 13th.
I can't believe that finally I will correct my horror of curves 90+ and 50+. My fusion will be T2 to pelvis. and I'm 32 years old.
My only concern is that I'm a grad student and I have to be back at school January 24th. That means I have to be able to drive by that time, I think is 5 to 6 weeks. I hope I'll be ready by then cause I cannot lose my financial aid.
How long did it take you to go back to drive and resume normal activities with a long fusion like this? Dr. Pashman told me that I will be able to drive by 6 weeks. I hope he is right...
