I knew you were going to say that at some point. Staph is resolvable.... You have been outstanding at staying positive after all that you have been through which deserves praise....

You are one of the very few that is fused neck to thoracic....be sure to let us know if they do decide to do a hardware seperation at some point.

I have a photo attachment below for those in pain or in a LOT of pain who cant post. Even though some of us might think they can handle a lot of pain, (like me) there are times when our struggles can really get tested....

Thank you for the laugh. It's all we can do sometimes. Sometimes I think I'm a little to crabby with people I really had a hard time convincing people not to touch my neck hardware. Until I lost it and then showed her how the inside looks she really didn't get it She understands now

Another update. The neurosurgeon's office called, after reviewing the CT and the EOS xray the area by the wound may being caused by some hardware. I have to go back to discuss this further.
He I'm just trying to get the scapula fixed.

Hi Jackie, I am so sorry you’ve been thru hell -can’t imagine going through what you have been through w/o pain Med - Really hope you get better soon Nancy

After reviewing the EOS X-Ray the neurosurgeon recommends removing part of the thoracic hardware. At the time of surgery he will decide how much. It may be a big factor in the wound.
The wound was cultured again but I don't know the results.
This is to take place on Jan 21 . Then hopefully the wound will heal so I can move forward to fixing my arm.
