Wow--saw Dr. Lonner in NYC yesterday and it's look like he's going to be able to do my surgery Feb. 2!!!! I am the person who posted last fall after an app't. at Johns Hopkins and thought I was just going to kind of keep on keeping on. I am so very grateful to those people who said that was the wrong answer. My surgery will be huge--I'm at 60 Thoracic and 92 lumbar but I felt very good about Dr. Lonner and what he thinks he can do for me. It will be all posterior and all in one long procedure. It was a totally different experience than we had with the consult in Baltimore. I never dreamed this could happen this fast and I'm a little overwhelmed with what I've got to get done in the next few weeks. We are 4-5 hours away from NYC which make things difficult, too but we'll deal with it. I will probably be on here a lot in the next few weeks with tons of questions and needing lots of virtual hand-holding and encouragement. I know I can do this and I know in the long run my life is going to be better. I am so tired of being in pain. Even though I know there's a lot more to come, there will be an end in sight. This forum helped me find this Dr. and I don't think I would be doing this if I hadn't read all of the success stories on here.
