Evelyn[/QUOte} Oh my, that would be wonderful!!! I am so ready to stand up straight again. This is soo hard on my body. But I have lots of hope, and that helps me get through the days~~it helps to know I am going to Dr. Lenke. He said this surgery would take 10 hrs. It will be all posterior as far as I know at this point. He said that's what he wants to do. It would be great if I don't have to have two incisions.
Warmly , Linda
Linda,
I know how hard it is to be unable to stand up straight, so exhausting on your body. I feel your pain. And I am so excited for you!
Your situation is much more severe than mine was, but let me tell you, the first time I got out of that hospital bed and could stand up straight again, hubby and I both cried...I hope the same for you. I really do.
