Well, I haven't posted in a while, but I do faithfully read what people have posted. As my surgery date appoaches, I am on here more and more! This site has been a wealth of knowledge and support!
Today I met with both of the surgeons who will be performing my surgery. The plan is to fuse me from T2 or T4 down to the pelvis. I know it's a complex surgery and a really long fusion, but I actually feel pretty positive and optimistic. Plans are set and I feel completely confident with the doctors that I have chosen. I am fortunate to have a lot of support from my family and friends in addition to a great fiance who will help me get through this! My mom will be staying with me for a month to help me get settled and back on my feet. I hope she knows how much I appreciate it because it's a lot to ask of her! Now all I have left to do is stay positive and take care of myself for the next week! I'm sure I'll have a few more moments of nervousness, but I am just anxious to get it over with. I am motivated to do whatever the doctors say so that I am feeling well for my August wedding! It is definitely the motivation that I need!
For all those who have surgery scheduled soon- my best wishes for a speedy recovery!! For all those who have posted post-operatively... thanks for providing the wonderful knowledge and support. It's so nice to have people that have similar experiences and understand what you are going through.
