I can't believe that it's only 5 days until my surgery. I am being fused from T-3 or T-4 to my sacrum. I am very nervous about fusing to my pelvis. i have heard about the loss of motion but I don't really understand it. My doctor tells me that I will bend over like a barbie doll or toy soldier, but isn't that how everyone bends over already??? I don't understand this explanation. I'm only 21 and I live alone.
Every time I do something, like the laundary or the dishes I wonder, "what is this going to be like after surgery?" or "how is my surgery going to change this?" I'm so nervous!!!
Has anyone else fused to their pelvis? Can you feel the rods in you when you bend over? I am very active, do you always feel stiff?
Ahh!! I feel like I'm going nuts! :[
