I had spinal fusion surgery in June 2004 at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital down in Palo Alto (with Dr. Rinsky). I recently visited again because of some pain when I laid down because of my protruding shoulder blade and was told I could either have the rods extended or cut off. The latter would eventually lead to having them extended anyway, so I chose to have them extended. The surgery will be as intensive as the original, but I unfortunately don't remember the first one very well.
I was wondering if you could remind me of all the gritty details of this surgery, so I know what to look for! Thanks all!
