  • Complications...

    I may have developed some complications that might cause my surgery to be moved up. I won't list them here, but I have to be at Dr. Shelokov's office 1st thing on Monday morning for him to examine me. Hopefully it will be nothing, and I will post a follow up then.

      Hi Ann,

      I know your scared, but try and stay calm. It just may be best for you that your surgery comes sooner than later. Things happen for a reason, and I hope all goes well for you. Keep us informed!!!

        I think I may have mistyped. My appointment was for Monday with Dr. S. However, I spoke to both their office and my local Dr.'s office as I do not see this as an emergency and we descided to have my local Dr. do an MRI to see if there is any reason for the issue other than my spine. If they can't rule out other issues (numbness in my right leg and "personal" issues, by which I presume you know what I mean), then I will have to go see Dr. S. So, for now, it's okay. I can still walk so it isn't too bad, right?
