Hi there,
Not sure anyone will remember me, but I was due a revision surgery on 8th Nov '06, well it got brought forward to the 6th and I am now just over 8 weeks post surgery.
I had my old hardware - Harrington-Luque Rod, 2 hooks and 13 wires - removed and 2 Titanium Rods (Don't know what their proper name is) 7 pedicle screws, 1 hook and 2 crosslinks put in!
I also have to wear a post-op brace for 6 months (which is already becoming tiresome ).
My surgery was originally meant to be 4 hrs, but due to a couple of 'suprises' for my surgeon it took 8hrs altogether.
I haven't been on here lately mostly because I also belong to a UK based site and I can't sit here long enough to type everything twice!
I have been lurking and reading though.
