I am not totall sure what i had done either., Seeing i saw my doc for injections at the surgery center only , i need to have the discussion with him on monday at my first real post op appointment.
I know he opened my back up from T7 thru L4. The fusion was extended down to L4. He removed some loose hardwear and screws, took out some insturmentation and may have re instumented some areas at least that was the plan before surgery, He also straightened out my back some more (resulting in better lung capacity) A big surgery and i have been a big dummy as far as thinking back to the last 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe i will start acting like i just had major surgery now
