Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I do apreciate the information. It is just that I have already commited and am in accute recovery and am starting to doubt my decision now along with having a nurse all rushed to get off the phone with me when I had questions about my MRI. I just need to be able to think positively and believe in the procedure I just had done and in my doctor in order to be able to bring about the psychological componant necessary to heal and need some support in that decision that has already been made. Thats what I am here for. I absolutly am supportive of you sharing your experience and sharing what you feel is the truth...I'm just very vulnerable right now.

YOU have to live in your body, nobody else does.That being said, NO ONE should go into these kind of life altering decisions unarmed with as much information as they can get. My last fusion was absolutely necessary as my previous one never took and I was a mess in there. The surgery and the following hardware removal surgery DID bring some relief, but even with the relief I am still in pain, enough to need pain meds for the rest of my life, enough to not be able to sleep... I hope you have wonderful results and if you take good care of yourself you have a good expectation for that. --- Babbitt > > Yes Janice...you kinda' are the exception...it sounds > like your results are beyond good expectations! > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I understand completely . I apologize for taking away from your positive outlook. You're absolutely right. Honestly I've been thinking that you didn't have it done yet. There's a lot of people here with a lot of different circumstances and I get mixed up sometimes. Focus on the things you CAN do to make this procedure work for you and bring you lasting relief. like I've said, so much of the surgical success rests on our shoulders...it's what we do to keep ourselves strong and healthy that makes all the difference in the world! Keep your chin up! --- Babbitt > > > Yes Janice...you kinda' are the exception...it > sounds > > like your results are beyond good expectations! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
