Hello all! Just wanted to report that I have gotten my date for my spinal fusion. Wish me luck on this one. It's coming up fast. I'm scheduled for the 28th of July. :/
Another look at the x-rays and Dr. Starr has decided to conduct the fusion from T-5 to L-1. I'm excited and both scared at the same time. Being in the military for over 4 years now I don't know how my shop is going to take the news when they find out that I won't be able to deploy in Jan. And if the military will even keep me in. Don't want to get out.
If anyone has had the fusion from those points how long was your scar??? what can I expect? how bad is the pain when they make you get up the day after surgery.
(sorry for all the questions)
thanks
