My hardware removal surgery is now scheduled on Sept. 11 (hope that's not a bad omen). Please remember me.

Sorry you have to do this JoAnn, but it sounds like this surgery will be nowhere near as hard as the original one. Best of luck to you !!Chris

Partial Rod Removal
JoAnn, I had the top of my rod removed and it is nothing like the original surgery. A much, much easier recovery - you can't compare it. I was only in the hospital two days and that's because I was so nauseous, they kept me one more day. Good luck, LynnLast edited by Jacque's Mom; 08-29-2007, 04:28 PM.1981 Surgery with Harrington Rod; fused from T2 to L3 - Dr.Keim (at 26 years old)

I'll let you know as soon as i can how things went!
