So, I go in for pre-op on Wednesday, June 20 = they’ll explain the process, fill out all the paperwork, and do the blood tests
Surgery is scheduled for Friday, June 22 = check in is at 6:00 am, surgery will begin at 7:30
I have no idea how long recovery will be, but I’m hoping to be home that evening and will have the weekend to see how it goes…
For those who don’t know what’s going on, I have two vertebrae (C5 and C6) that require some attention. Dr. Kralick will go in thru a tiny slit in my throat, file off the bone spurs that have grown in all directions (they are putting pressure on my spinal chord), place bone grafts from a cadaver, and tie the whole thing together with a metal plate.
You make sure you let me know if you need anything during your recovery time Ruth. Did they give you an estimate of how long the recovery time usually is on that sort of procedure?
