Well, my surgery is on Tuesday morning and I think I'm ready to go. My bag is packed (I'm sure I packed too much), my house is in order, meals are prepared, etc. I'm bored now as I don't have much to do.
I received the authorization notification for my surgery this morning from my insurance company and was surprised what was on the list of things that were planning on being done as I have never heard of some of them:
Laminotomy w/ decompress nerve root, one interspace, lumbar and other tissue grafts, laminectomy facetectomy, and foraminotomy lumbar
I guess there's a lot more that goes on than I realize or it's just fancy medical jargon.
I did have some questions: Did you bring your purse with you to the hospital or just a wallet with identification? What do you do for the hour and a half before the scheduled surgery? I really want to be drugged as soon as I step in the building so I don't start crying a lot.
Will someone notify my family as to how the procedure is going?
Thanks,
Shell
