More Surgery Needed

[KarlS]

Went to the Neurosurgeon today to find out the results of the tests that was done. Need more surgery due to the degenerative bone disease and now scoliosis. He has to take out the screws and rods that's in my back now and replace them with longer rods, new screws, and spacers. Has to go up 3 more vertebra. 6 hour operation and 4-7 days in Hospital. Have to check Abigail's school schedule and make arrangements for someone to take care of her and get her to school for up to 7 days. Just hope it helps as good as it did in 2005, lost weight, felt great, and got around real good for 2 years.

That sucks. I had surgery last spring for a hernia repair with the mesh screen. Was supposed to get out the next day and ended up for a week and had to go in isolation because of a infection.

Hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Hope all goes well and you recuperate fast. Doesn't sound fun being in for that long under the knife.

Heal fast.

I hear Dons got a good guard dog who could help!

 

Hope everything goes good for you and this one lasts a little longer, be good to see you out and about next year!

Surgeon kept telling me 6 hours, 6 hours, I told him does not matter to me I'll be asleep. Last one was 7 hours and 2 weeks in Hospital.

Good luck with it. I stood beside a doctor thru a 10 hr operation not long ago. (as a correctional officer we can't leave them) Gave me a new respect for Doctors.

Karl, I spoke with Mike this evening for an extended period of time and he updated me on your upcomming surgery. At least you have a direction to go with hopes of a better lifestyle, sure beats pain with no end in sight. I'll give you a call within the next couple of days.
