greetings from sunny & beautiful CA
saw dr anand this afternoon...
he says that he can do minimal invasive on all patients, including my low lumbar problem...stated that he would "go in on the side of my belly", make "about 3 small incisions", "use tubes to go thru & clean out my destroyed discs" (my bottom discs are destroyed & rotated, per dr anand)...& rebuild the discs with spacers...a few days later, he would go in the back & make one incision "near the butt crack, for want of a better description"...& put in that BMP stuff to fuse the spine...
i was able to obtain the phone numbers of 2 patients who agreed to speak to a possible future patient...i will probably call them when i get back to the east coast...right now i just feel drained & need to sit on the roof top in the restaurant they have up there (in my hotel) and drink a diet coke or something stronger & relax...i was so nervous that i messed up the little tape recorder my husband gave me to use...but i remember everything the doctor said! he also said to look at his web site..which i have but never understood...& the nurse gave me some literature to read before i left...which i will probably look at also when i get back east...
take care all...wishes & prayers for you guys in & coming out of surgery today...
