Yet another surgery
In apologize for being absent for awhile I started having bad computer problems. then I just got lazy
I am having a reconstructive spine surgery this coming Wed, June 17th. My new surgeon is DRPerri at Cedars. He had sent me to Rancho Mirage to Eisenhower imaging center to have spect ct scans. I was told no one in LA did those. Anyway I am all hunched over now. My spine looks like a C shape and he told me it is collapsing on itself and it is progressive. I have fractures in L5 and the others that underwent kyphoplasty 2 years ago have not healed do to the weird backwards curve. What is on my consent form is
anterior lumbar interbody fusion L5-S1. Posterior spinal fusion revision T10-Pelvis . Pedicle subtraction osteotomy L1m Possible transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion L5-S1. then in 6 weeks pedicle subtraction osteotomy T5, posterior spinal fusion revision T-2- T10. My whole spine is a mess. He said some of it is congenital. Now I just need to pray he can do this and my spine is not so messed up that he can't do anything.
