  • Here I go again...

    Well, I'm going in for surgery this Thursday, the 15th to correct a broken rod, possible pseudarthrosis and maybe some loose screws. This is my third surgery in eight years, hopefully the third time is a charm, not only am I tired of the pain, and the running around(hosptal appointments, tests, etc) before and after surgeries, but the recuperations as well and the stress it puts on my husband and parents, plus I don't like asking anymore aid at this point. But I know I will be down for a while after the surgery, hey...I wonder what the cause of all this breakage so early post op is, and hope my ortho will enlighten me on the issue. I will post after a while when I'm up to it, so I can explain all that happened, you never know some of my pains may resemble some of the people who lurk or post here, and maybe can help each other better understand.

    Hoping for a a good outcome and an easier surgery,

    Take care to all of you, season's greetings and health for all of you in the New Year
