Yup. Thanks again guys. Appreciate it. Just got out of the shower and will prep with those annoying antibacterial clothes lol. Then I'll "try" to sleep, and before I know it, be up on the way to the hospital. Can't wait to get my darn back fixed.

I can't believe you are still up. I guess I would have a hard time going to bed, too. Hope to hear from you soon, on the other side! Best Wishes!

Lol still up. Turns out I need to wait 1 hour before applying the antibacterial clothes on my skin after a shower haha. I finished eating a small roast beef sandwich like 30 minutes ago. Ready to go. Will apply the clothes and then try to sleep, but not sleepy at all. I normally get sleepy around 12-1, so I'm not up because I'm nervous. Hopefully I'll post up tomorrow! Good night guys.

I'm out finally. Trying to type on this iPhone is extremely nerve racking. Very painful!

[jrnyc]

i don't think you should type too much if it is so painful....
just rest and do what they tell you....
hope the meds help!
glad the healing has begun!

Amazing to hear from you so soon. Take it easy and rest. I hope everything went well and you have a gentle and smooth recovery.

[rohrer01]

Rest, rest, rest. I hope they give you adequate pain meds. Thanks for letting us know you're "on the other side". Take Care.

One down, one to go. Good job.

Does your present surgical team know why your first fusion failed? That would be good to know.

Best regards,

Thanks for posting. Now, you should rest. I know we sound like "mothers", but rest helps you heal.

[rohrer01]

I guess I missed it in the thread that you will have to have two surgeries. I hope this one is a fast healer, and like everyone is saying, rest.

Okay, I've spent the last two hours going through your thread to find out what you are having done. It sounds like a wonderful plan! I'm sure you will be happy with the results, as you really did your homework this time. I also looked at your x-rays. Your post surgical x-rays looked good, but that third one was definitely amiss. I can't believe you first surgeon (won't mention his name) couldn't see this! Good luck with the rest of your procedure!
