Hi guys,
Finally feel up to posting. I spent 2 weeks in hospital due to a sleepy bowel. I felt like I ad abdominal surgery rather than spinal surgery. I looked like a puffer fish full of gas and was very nauseous. I was Nil by mouth most of my stay which made me very weak, anaemic and mucked up my electrolytes. This has been resolved and I'm now feeling pretty good. Got a great correction on my 55 deg left thoracolumbar curve, fused T9 to L3. My left side feels perfect but I get a gnawing pain in the soft tissue on my right side that use to be the concave part of my back. This is decreasing though. I went off pain meds to get my bowel right but have slowly increased again, mainly just at night. Ask any questions.
Talk soon!
