I have set the date of my surgery with Dr. Shelokov for 9/24/07...way too long to wait, but worth it I hope. He plans to do posterior only and fuse from T2 or T3 down to L3 or L4. He said that the actual surgery will only take about 5 hours, but set up, closing, bringing off anesthesia, etc., can take another 3 hours or so. I am also on the waiting list for an earlier surgery date if one opens up.
I was okay until I wrote it on my calendar. I had a bit of a panic attack then because it's real now.
