Kc,
I have been reading all of your previous posts to get the picture of what's going on (now that I have a little time on my hands, I'm going back and getting to know everyone a little better). I hope and pray that this will truly be your LAST and MOST SUCCESSFUL surgery. (I also just read that you got your Bachelors recently, WOW! Congrats!!!) With all that you've been through, you deserve relief, and you are in good hands. I'm glad to see that they are addressing your needs so quickly. I wish I could be there with you, but know that I will be there in spirit. I know that this fusion is what you've fought so hard against, but there are MANY people out there who have gotten the releif that they've sought from fusion. You tried your best, Dear...you fought hard, but please don't think that you've lost just because you're having this revision. YOU have done an AMAZING job of advocating for yourself, and you will come out of this and STILL be AMAZING!
Can't wait to hear more and watch you grow after this procedure.
Jess
