Hi everyone,
My name is David. Jo 71-09's husband. I am posting to the forum to update everyone about Jo's surgery which took place on the 28th of April. Her surgery took 10 plus hours and thankfully it appears there will only be one surgery. Jo is recovering at New England Baptist Hospital in Boston. She is experiencing considerable pain which we expected and unfortunately she is also experiencing some recurring nausea. She did stand and walk a couple times today, this has improved her state of mind significantly. The goal is for release on Sunday May 3rd.
Dr Rand fused from the sacrum to T9, I hope I am saying that correctly, this is as he expected. He did say he was able to achieve excellent results in regard to her alignment, better than he expected. Recovery is slow in starting but it is underway.
I do want to apoligize for not getting this onto the forum sooner but to be honest, I have been struggling with keeping focused myself. Joanne is doing as well as can be expected at this point. She is a tough kid and I admire her courage. If anyone would like to send well wishes to Joanne, you can do so through the NEBH website to Joanne Bergeron.
I do want to thank all of you who have helped Joanne through this forum in any way. She gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and help through your experiences and your willingness to share them. Thank you!!
Sincerely,
David
