Hi Margie,
i am practically all fused from C4 thru L5 . sorry i didn't check out the forum yesterday. could you give me some more info as to what levels you are having fused and when. I guess the when is because i hope you get all the answers out of me quickly as i am having anterior lumbar fusion on monday the 9th. I am having levels L2 thru L5 worked on. I also have 3 fractures there and have kyphosis instead of the normal lordosis in the lumbar area so a few more things will be done.
I have had a total of 9 spine surgeries for different reasons like allignment issues, too much curve impacting on my lung capacity as well as me stupidly breaking my neck.
Lots of pillows if traveling by car the 5 hours and lots of pain meds or up to date ones and lots of stops to get out and maybe walk a tiny amount. Anyway let me know any details such as i forgot to ask if it is posterior or anterior
Judy
