Update On My Surgery
Posted: 02-10-06 17:52pm

I see the surgeon on tuesday of next week for my 6-8 week check up hopefully it will go better then it did for my two week check-up because the surgeon wasn't even there I seen his assistant. When I fell after my surgery I called and I didn't hear back for four days by then I had already went to my family doctor who checked me out and said everything appeared ok. So hopefully with x-rays in hand I will be able to see the surgeon. I have done pretty well my pinky on my left hand is totally numb post surgery and so is my thigh on the left leg. I am anxious to see if this is permanant. I still have some pain in my legs but it isn't as bad as it was. I know the surgeon is going to want to talk to me about the next surgery and I am more scared about the back surgery then about the cervical spine surgery I had done. Anyway I hadn't posted in awhile wanted to give you guys an update

Well at this point it seems like you are going to eventually make a decent recovery but it also seems it is going to take a long time to realise the effects of the surgery and how it will affect your life.

I am really hoping you respond after the next surgery and things start to really kick it in overdrive.

Buttons,

i wish every success during your recovery. I know it is hard, and you have days when you wonder when will it all be over. Hang in there and work at your recovery. Btw I would be extremely pi$$ed if my doctor hadn't seen me for my checkup and waited four days to call me back. I would definitely let him or her how dissatisified you are up to this point. To me it is his responsibility to assist in your recovery and not just shuffle you along to his assistant after the surgery.
