Hi! I have been reading everyone's posts for several months now. However, this is the first time I've taken the time to post. I must start by saying this information is so helpful!!!
My name is Rachel and I'm 35. I am married to the most wonderful, supporting husband and have two kids ages 4 & 14. My surgery date is March 16 (one month from today) and I'm scared to death!!!!! I will have a posterior fusion from T4-T12 and a right Iliac (sp?) crest bone graft.
For starters, does anyone know Dr. Robert Hurford? He's the orthopedic surgeon performing my surgery. He is located in Urbana, IL. http://www.carlespineinstitute.com/a...cian_bios.html
I have went to see him several times but would still love to know of someone that's had surgery with him....or knows of someone that has. He was recommended to me by two doctor's in IL.
I work full-time and the thought of going through all of this with my family as well as taking off so much time for work really concerns me. Like all of us, I just want everything to be "okay".
Thanks for listening! I really appreciate everyone's feedback and enjoy reading other's stories...it's so nice not to feel "alone".
