MY SURGERY... :)~
I haven't really blogged about this much....I'm soooo friggin' scared!!!! I keep having nightmares...and bad visions of things going wrong in the operating room....I know...I know...toooo much tv... Ha!...Thank god Kat will be here with me through all this!
It has been 5 months today since the accident at work.....It is starting to hit home that the surgery is imminent, and not that far in the future. I had my final appointment this morning with the Ortho/spine guy. He is the last doc to see before I start booking my pre-surgery apts...... Here is what they will be doing to me.....
I will have two of my discs replaced and fused. So I will have a titanium plate, and two screws in my neck. (Now I will have an excuse for having a screw loose...LOL)....They HAVE to take bone from my hip to replace the discs. I thought I was going to be able to use the cadaver bone...........But I have the nasty habit of smoking, and also am having multiple replacements done.... Sooooo........
I really don't want pain anywhere else, but the healing rate is better if I use my own bone...
I just want this to all be over......Worker's Comp takes their sweet time about approving everything....So much time has been wasted!!!...I could've been almost recovered by now if not for all the RED TAPE bullshite!
