Hello everyone again! First I want to thank all of you for your postings which have really helped me. I will be fused from the sacrum to T2. WHEW I am a former ICU nurse and never thought I would be on the receiving end of ET tubes,ventilator,art line etc. I am so lucky in that I have lots of support, love my surgeon, and the hospital is great. They even let me wander around the ICU last Friday so I could be familiar with the place.
Questions:
What helped you get through the week before surgery?? I do plan to do some "fun" stuff - legs waxed, pedicure.. but I wonder is it best to keep busy??
I find that I am very worried about my family during the time I will be in surgery - 4 hours anterior, 10 hours posterior. I'll be out of it - but they will be going nuts waiting.
Any suggestions about getting through this week will be most appreciated!
Julie
