Just got back from my pre-op 2.30pm
everythiing was ok they just took bloods, and ECG, and swabs just to make sure i had no infections.
Met my surgeon again, who my mum thinks is cute
he was nice and talked to all of us not for long but he told me about the risks.
one that upset my mum was being paralized he said one in 150 ends up paralized, i have never read anyone on this forum ending up like that, do you think its that common, another risk was the bone graft not taken and the rods wearing down and the surgery having to be redone, but he said that is low that the bone graft wont take.
another little risk was them going through a nerve and a part of my body being numb he also said that is very low.
My op is 8am maybe 8.30am but around that time, and it will take 4-5 hours being fused from T4-L4 i have no idea what that meant
