Hi Peeps!

Hope you all had a Great Easter. It was low keyed and very much fun here! Had the kids over and the Easter Bunny even stopped here!!! I had waaaay more than my share of chocolate...*ggls* But it was sooo good. Now it's over, and it's time to think about my upcoming adventure. I saw the Neurosurgeon last week, and it looks like I'm on my way back to surgery. I saw the Neuro again the other day and it looks as tho it's worse than what he had originally expected. His change of heart came after he had both the MRI and the X-rays next to each other and as he studied them, he told me it's worse than what he thought. He now has to fuse 4 levels instead of one. And there is no way of escaping it, no matter which way I run...*sighs* But, this surgery will be a bit different than my original one when I broke my neck. This particular surgery has come a long ways since the one I had 20 years ago.
First off, the first one put me in the hospital for 9 days. It has now been cut down to 3...4 tops. This time they'll go in thru the front of my neck instead of the back, omitting the muscle and tissue damage from pulling apart the muscles to get to the spine. The 4 level fusion means 3 cages but they no longer use synthetic bone!! They will insert sponges into the cages, and instead of filling it w/ synthetic bone they use BMP. Bone Morphogenic Protein. It's what our original bones are made of, giving it a great head start in strengthening the "seed" bone, so to speak. The analogy is...sod vs. grass seed...lol. Then the last new thing is the stimulator. They will put in a stimulator to urge the bone to consistently grow, and it's run by a battery pack that will be implanted in my hip. It might mean a minor surgery here and there should the batteries need replacing.
I will be in a neck brace for 6 months...the first 2 will be 24/7. AAACCCKKK!!! But then I will be able to come out of it for a few hours at a time. The part that totally sucks is that for the first 30-60 days not only will I have to stay in my brace, but I can't get into a car, unless it's for a Dr's appointment...then and ONLY then can I get out of the house. He told me to stay as far away from stairs as I can...which is a joke, cause as MR, 69 and Kayte can tell ya, I live on the second floor, with a very old, very steep and narrow staircase. So, it looks as if I'll be stuck in the house. That part scares me cuz I go stir crazy real easy. Now the other part that sucks is that this will in no way, shape or form help out my lower back. It's not connected to my lower back problems at all. I can still opt for surgery on my low back, but I have decided that no way in hell am I going to do that. Not w/ this neck thing hanging over my head. I'll learn to live w/ the pain of the lower back. I need the use of my right hand and arm much more. And if I don't have this surgery to relieve the nerves and fuse my neck, I may never get the use of my arm and hand back at all. Theres no choice as far as I can see.
I have an appt. w/ him in one month. He scheduled it so far away as I have things to get done before I'm layed up. When I see him next month, we will set a date. Then once we do that, I'll know it's real. I keep pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming...and I'm not...shit. The risks are still the same. If he moves wrong, gets distracted or sneezes at the wrong time..blam...I'm paralyzed from the neck down. As he put it to me....the risk is low, but it's there! I guess this is where my Faith comes in. Like I said to someone earlier...it's easy to talk faith, but when you are forced to live it, thats quite different. I'm scared shitless.
Well, there ya have it! I feel I am going to be fine as long as I keep my mindset in the right place, stay strong...and w/ all the support I have from both online friends, and r/l friends and family, that part should be relatively easy, and keep praying. I do however, have to be realistic and come up w/ a plan in case something happens. They also want me to fill out a living will, which I think is a good idea anyhow...but boy, this shit is so scary, guys....how in the hell do I go about making plans in case I come out w/o the use of my whole body? Where do I start? My God, it's hard enough to see the fear in my kids eyes!!! How do I handle talking to each of them about a "plan" w/o scaring the living hell out of them??? They're frightened as it is!! Oh I can console them, and make very light of it, but they aren't stupid. Normally I wouldn't have made out any kind of living will....thats just not me. I'm a positive person and my kids know this. To make this plan is going to be exceptionally difficult for them. But, it's gotta be done.
Like I said, there ya have it. I'm asking all of you to please, keep praying for me...this is a tough one. I appreciate all the praying you have done thus far...I know it's kept me going at times when I want to quit. And I know I'm headed for some depression over this, and some "giving up" times. Like I told Kayte, it's time for me to lean on people and not be so light of it. This IS serious...and it's time I respected it and treat it as such. So Thank you all for what you've done, and for the wonderful friendships you have all given me so freely. I love you guys...Take care..*smooches and hugs*

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

I know this post will come as a great surprise, and I will give you a moment to get over the shock..~laughs~ but i hope things go well and will keep you in my thoughts as well. Am dealing with my own medical shock and treatments and stuff...so althought surgery doesnt seem to be something I have to deal with right now, and its not my spine, well I feel your anxiety and stress. Hang in there and keep those closest to you really close. Things will be fine..stay positive. Hope everyone is wel.

Hello my friend. ltns. I am so sorry to hear so much is going on with you. Please write me and tell me what is going on

Thinking of my beautiful friend. Love you Girl!!!

 

[maniac1967]

Hon, I will keep praying for you. The only way of looking at it is this: go through all this crap now, and eventually return to a (somewhat normal) life, or forget it and end up as a paraplegic for the rest of your life?

It's going to take some time, little girl, you're in the middle of the ride, but everything's going to be just fine - everything, everything will be all right.

All right?

(I know - cheesy lyrics for a cheesy morning.)

 

[kayte]

Good morning {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jazey}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}


Thinking of you! Keeping you in my prayers darling.
