Hi Maria,
It just took me about 45 minites tp try ty type sometning; A lot of the letters have worn off these computers Jamie has the same compouter and the same person sold one to Her. So it was fine for a shot pile, now I am having problems ., I have my new one.but loned it to her soi she wouldn't get so upset . Oh Jamie bought me the new laptop for my birthday , mothers day.
So let me try to explaom what has happed so far. Tuesday we leave home aroiund 2:15. We get to our hotel early enough to get a little sun in and go in my first salt water in te pool. Time to get ready for work, I am training B ecka to take my place on Tuesday nights until I can come back/.
My first check in time was 6:30, changed to 10:am checkin, back to 8:30 am so WEd morning we head there at 6:20, we were only 1/2 mile frol the hotel
'they tell me my check in time is now later, so we just sit in the waiting rooms. I am now getting so thirsty. So it started at 1pm. I guess then the surgeons decided it was too late when they did the anterior to go ahead and start the back position. Then Thursday was the day for posterior. It started late,around 2 0r 3 depending on HOw long it took them to getr me ready,. Becka said she didn't see me until aroun 3am. So it went for a long time. j B ut he had already told me seeing they decided to do T-5.S1 anteriori;iy they didn't want to do the cervical at the same day ., So it is not even scedjled yet.
I will have a different doc follow ,me the hospital as I thought I planned it aroumd his time off, but they must have told me the wrong date., I hope he is back byy thoe beginning of July so I can see him post op[ ripght away. I am sorry about all the typoes, but between the cpmpiter being bac and me being so hot and it is really hard when tis lap top is so bad/.
THe pulmonology group that has been following me have all been niuce, I reallky l.ike this lady that I had ne ver met before,

I had this long surgery and I was sent to ICU. So it was llight out when I got there Friday am. j The ICU staff is the one and your surgeon who take care of you in ICU. That ICU teem orders out my foley for that morning. I tried to argue with them and got no where they just went our of my room and closed my door so we could not hear anything,
I couldn't get our walking WEd because I was way too dizzy. I had to keep getting canulated because I had no urge to pee. Finally last nigt . I had the urge and I did pee on my own . The girls of mine have been wonderful and spend a lot of time here. Becka basically gets upo and ready and then comes back and forth to see me,. She did sleep here one late niht too, Of course she
Told Tim he could not come when I had the second surgery and didn't tell himin time for the first night.
sohe finally got here last night but was unusually quiet. It is 8:20 and visiting hours end at 9 so even though the girls have gone to Jeff's for fathers day there is no one hear. I am ok witj that ,just mean there is no communication between him and the girls he probably doesn't know that. He is the 0ne who really dislikes his dad and he is the one who acts a lot like him .

The official procedure was close to this: anterior lumbar redo at S1-L5. THen Posterior revision fusion thoracic !0 - pelvis THat is it for the lower. When the next half takes place,i will be ready. I already can stand up so straight now. WHLat I was saying aboutDrPerri,he likes to get other specialists involved so he 0nly has to take care of your spine, so the post of prescription his office tried to give tp0 me was for Norco. I had an apt with my pain management doc and he disappointed me, He just gave me one more oxy pill and it was for 6 weeiks as he said to come back in 6 weeks. I assume I wil be hear for apx a week so that still means the same prescrioptiom I have been 0n f0r like 3 years for after surgery I got the pain management team infolved right away. I just don't know if they will write a prescription f0r after the hospital time. I sure hope theyt will. The worst pain I have is all in the buttox area; When I go0 to get up or lay in a certain way. DR Perri said that makes sense because that is where they did most of their work;. I am on a strong muscle relaxer here though, I think it is roboxan. I know for discharge DrPerri prescribes valium.I better get this sent in because it will take awhile if my computer to send it. Bye , I will update again
