As those who have been around here 5 years or more may recall, in Oct 2020 I went in for a lumbar fusion - and when I woke up I couldn't move my right foot; 6 weeks of acute residential rehab (in the midst of a massive covid surge), and a brace on my right foot & calf to this day; the quack also gave me an infection that will require oral antibiotics every day for the rest of my life.


So, tomorrow morning I go in so they can place spacer cages between T12-L1 & L5-S1, then fuse T10 through S1 and out onto the pelvis.
I don't mind telling you that I am freakin' terrified!


And just to add a little spice to the festivities, April 3 Senior Management had C2-T3 fused' on April 12, T3 fractured - so on the 14th She had a T3-T4 laminectomy, and the fusion extended to C2-T6 - and into an acute rehab joint.  Was doing well for a couple weeks and then had a drug reaction that left Her lying there spasming and incoherent; She is recovering from that very slowly, so we don't know when She'll get out.


So, any good energy you could send our way would be most welcome.

Maybe I'll ask the doc to send me an x-ray of the hardware, so I can one-up pix
