1 Citation Everything was exactly as it had been explained to me. As I mentioned before, I had my surgery at a spine surgery center, not the regular hospital. I think this had huge advantages! I went to my ?suite? (large room w/sitting area and TV, bed and bathroom). The nurse came with me. I had been prepared that they would be doing a urine pregnancy test that morning. I am glad I knew about this because since there is no food or liquids after midnight the night before, I waited till I got there to go to, technorati.com

1 Citation I was incredibly impressed with both my surgeon and the anesthesiologist. The surgeon called me with the results of the myelogram. He said he did not feel there was any need for fusion, just laminectomy/discectomy. He spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me answering all the questions I had about the surgery and recovery, which I had been writing down since the first day I met with him, pre-myelogram. He explained exactly what the surgery was and covered all my questions to my satisfactio, technorati.com

1 Citation I did get up and take a quick shower. I had someone else in the room with me, just in case I got dizzy or needed help. I was OK, but worn out just from a very quick shower. The bandage that covered the Steri Strips is waterproof, so showering is OK. I was just not supposed to let the water beat for a long time on the bandage. Still frightened of the pain meds, I only took Tylenol and the muscle relaxers. I had been taking the muscle relaxers prior to surgery, so knew they would not make me sic, technorati.com

1 Citation Post Op Day 2 I woke up with a horrendous headache. Think terrible wine hangover headache. It was splitting my skull before I even moved in bed. I got up and took my shower, again with someone in room, just in case. Once dressed, my head was hurting so bad it was frightening me. I called the surgery center and spoke with a nurse. I explained the situation and the first thing she asked was if the headache got better when lying down. I told her, no, this was not a spinal migraine. I had just exper, technorati.com

1 Citation Well, I finally had to have surgery. Lumbar Laminectomy/Discectomy. The short description is a small vertical incision was made in my lower back (L5-S1 area), a small piece of bone (lamina) was removed, nerve and muscles moved out of the way and the herniated portion of the L5/S1 disc was removed. Internal stitches were used, 3 Steri strips on outside. Incision is only about 2-2.5 inches. This was outpatient surgery, but still is considered major surgery. I fought the idea of surgery for over, technorati.com

1 Citation Again I woke up this morning at 4am with pain in my middle to lower back. I was able to get an appointment this time to the chiropractor. That is unusual because usually they are by appointment only on Saturdays. He is very comforting to talk to and this time comforting to my back as well. He adjusted my neck first not by snapping it but by this devise that you really can?t feel at all. He places it behind your ear while I lie on my side and places my other ear on a block of wood. He steps on, technorati.com
