Hi all! Happy holidays & New year!
I am posting for Penny as she is home recuperating from surgery 12/24. She went in for her check up @ 8 1/2 months and found that the ligaments holding T4 gave way rupturing the disc at T4. (She was fused T4-S1) Her Dr. came in from his vacation to do her surgery as they were worried her spinal cord was in danger due to the instability and it needed to be addressed right away. They removed her T4 disc (as well as T4 hard wear) and fused T1 to T4. She feels she is the only one with this long a fusion...... Anyone out there have this many levels? (18) She is doing very well, pain is under control and she isn't laid up like her 1st surgery. Her spirits are good but she is worried about the extent of her fusion now. Thanks and best wishes to all. Suzy
