Good luck and fast healing!:love:
Just checking for any update on surgery. Will try again later.
I know you probably won't be on for a bit - just wanted to say hi and I hope everything went smoothly!!
Talking to her on the phone now, she came through everything well, and she'll have the post-op discussion with the surgeon tomorrow. She said something about fusing L1 and L2 and then they did a Laminectomy?? for the rest - she is on heavy painkillers right now. She wanted me to assure you it all went very well, and the kitties are doing well, and she will do whatever she has to to get everyone back together when she can! She'll be in rehab for she does not know how long, but after that hopefully will feel better than she has in a long time!
Thanks for the update, Karen.
Having problems fairly often with this site. I try to post something, or go to a page and get something like this ---
Error 520 Ray ID: 16a9af4f5f110436
Web server is returning an unknown error
Yes, see this thread: Funky ErrorQuote:

I just had to look up Laminectomy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminectomy It's the removal of a part of the vertebra - called the lamina! - that creates a bit more space around the nerve to give it a place and time to heal. It's used for stenosis a lot.
Pretty minor compared to fusion...get well soon, Pat! :):love::love::love:
Glad everything went well.
I've been getting that error sign a lot too.
We received an update from Phesina's sister this morning!

Her spinal surgery appeared to go very well, and the surgeon said she should do fine. She’ll be at University of Michigan Hospital for 3-4 days, and then at a rehab facility (yet to be named) for several more days, until she’s well enough to go home. We’ll keep you posted as to how things go.
Wonderful news! I hope she can go home soon. Will any home care be covered by her insurance? Just til she can cook and vacuum again, etc. :):love:
I'm so glad to hear the surgery went well. :)
Pat, please take it easy, get the rest you need and do what the doctors say!
Is it possible to send a card? Can I use the normal address?
Take care Pat and heal up! Thinking of you and sending positive vibes. :love:
I will ask her sister about cards, and let you know!Quote:
