I just had a call yesterday afternoon from Dr. LaGrone's office saying that something has come up and he wouldn't be in town after my surgery date of June 4th for a week. Kathy, one of the nice ladies in his office, said he doesn't like to leave his patients for the first week after a surgery of this magnitude. So they need to reschedule me. They asked about June 18th but that would throw a wrench into my recovery time and my plans of going back to work part time in early August to handle new student registration. I asked if there was anything else that was earlier and they offered me May 21st. My principal said go for it, I will just be missing the last week of school and it will give me an extra 2 weeks of recovery time. So now we are set for May 21st! That just seems sooooo much closer than June 4th! :eek: He will be removing the old implants from T12 to S1; doing a pedicle subtraction osteotomy @ L2; put a different brand of implants in and fuse to S2; possible instrumentation to the pelvis also. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this will solve my problems!
