Well today I went to Westmead Hospital to see a surgeon for a second opinion. Well, I am feeling very bad right now.
The surgeon told me I had micro fractures in my lumbar spine and that he does not recommend surgery as he would have to fuse me from the pelvis all the way to the top thoracic vertebrae. He told me to come back in 20 years
I asked him about whether nursing would be a wise career for me and he kind of shrugged and said that it might not be the best idea. I feel really lost at the moment. I start back at uni tomorrow, and I don't know what the hell to do.
He remeasured my cobb angle and it was thoracic 38 and lumbar 36, which is completely different than the other surgeon’s measurements of 40L 25T. What the hell is up with that?
I found this particular surgeon very unhelpful, distant and uninterested. He not only got my $250, but a big chunk of my hope too.
Sorry for being such a wiener, but I am just feeling so bad at the moment, just don't know what to do anymore. To ad to that my brother, in his thoughtless manner called me mr disability which cut to the bone. I know he didn't mean it but it really affected me.
