Hi everyone,
I've been inactive for a little while, just doing a lot of reading and research for my upcoming surgery (T3-L3). My date is set and I've decided to stick with my doctor, after getting several other opinions. I am a nervous wreck but really trying to stay positive and think good thoughts! I had my pre-op appt the other day and it was quite a reality check. I've never been hospitalized before, other than when being in labor with my 2 children. My doc is very optimistic and I'm hoping with my curve and relativity young age (42), my surgery will go smoothly. I'm wondering if anyone could suggest anything to do in advance at home to make life a little easier for both me and my family. I work FT and would like to prep as much as possibly to help out my husband and kids.
Another question is in regards to a blood transfusion. Has anyone needed one with their surgery and did they donate their own blood?
Thank you in advance for your feedback!
