I posted about a month ago with news of continued curve progression below my fusion and herniated disc at L4-L5. I finally got 2 prospective dates for surgery to extend the rod.
I will have surgery over christmas break from college so that I dont take time off of school (my school has an 8 week break). It will either be December 15th or 26th.
I am kind of hoping for the 15th so that I have more recovery time, but the 26th has been recommended by lots of friends becuase it is after christmas (this is not a big deal for me, getting rid of this horrible pain will be the biggest gift I can recieve!!!). I feel like I have little time to prepare now with just over a month until surgery.
I am excited yet nervous at this point, but have gotten over the inital depression that I went through when I found out I needed the surgery. I think if I do have surgery on the 15th it will be ironic because it will be EXACTLY 1 year since my last surgery.
We are just waiting to hear from the hospital as to which date they have available. Will update when I find out. Thanks for your support.
