Hello Friends,
Finally, I have things set for my surgery.
My appointment last week with Dr. Hey was exciting when we actually decided on the date. The new scans he did showed how much worse my spine has gotten and it's evident that it's working on collapsing. CRAZY!!! It's hard to believe. I'll attach the updated pic showing the large curve is now 85 degrees and the smaller one is 58 degrees. My poor organs. My stomach is so squished that I can barely eat anything without feeling like I've eaten a 10 course meal. I hold my breath when I walk and catch myself when I'm gasping for air. It's time to fix me.
So now I'm weaning down my meds to help with the after surgery pain control. I am hoping this won't be too horrible. I'm doing yoga which helps with the stretching and also helps my mind a lot.
What can you suggest I have at the house for after surgery to help me get through this? What did you find helped you the most?
I appreciate all of your encouragement and suggestions!!
Let's do this!!!!
